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

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.
