This is the book for you, if you're teaching yourself how
to play the kantele.
Can't read music? Don't worry! You'll learn how. Each
lesson includes a simple explanation of whatever you need to
know to complete the lesson. Learn at your own pace,
mastering each lesson before you continue.
Those who can read music concentrate on learning how to
play melodies and chords and practicing exercises, using
standard fingering.
Videos and sound files make it easy to learn. Quizzes test
what you know and an Answer Key is included so you can check
your answers. The second part of the book consists of 46
songs written for 5 and 10 string kanteles.
