Shelley Stevens - The Baker's Dozen: 13 Songs And Tunes For Mountain Dulcimer - Volume 4 - Shaker Music

Item Number 90218247

Sale price $6.99 Regular price $17.00

We're proud to bring you this Shelley Stevens' "Baker's Dozen" book. This is Volume 4 in the series, and it is full of traditional Shaker melodies. You probably don't know many of these tunes, but you should - they're important to our musical traditions, and likely had a significant influence on later pieces that you do know.

All songs are in DAD tuning, and a surprising number of them are in E minor (capo 1). Each piece includes both standard notation and dulcimer tablature.

This book is published by Folkcraft® Instruments, under the Fingers Of Steel® imprint.

17 pages.

Shelley's Books #11, #3, #11

I now have all her books, I ordered her other books for our group, so we all have the same. The simplicity of her books make it nice for advanced and some beginner players. Hyms for 2 is great, a much fuller sound ,

Great Books

Shelley is a great dulcimer player and a superior arranger of tunes. Her books are perfect examples of this. I'm glad to have them.

Honky Tonk and Ragtime

I was very excited to get a Shelley Steven tab book on sale. I bought 3 copies for my small group of players as Christmas gifts because I knew one player had an interest in this type of tune. This tab is clearly not for the new beginning player however. I’m struggling with these tunes myself.

Kick Out the Jams

Another book from Shelley Stevens' Baker's Dozen series, "#12 Jam Tunes and Beyond" includes a number of familiar numbers and a handful of new ones for me, such as Billy in the Low Ground, June Apple and Ragtime Annie. The latter one seems like a tune that missed the cut from her "#10 Ragtime and Honkytonk" book. If Folkcraft offers the other nine books from the series at the same discounted price, I would probably get them--ideally if all were offered at once to save on shipping.
