The Bandura Musician Handbook Chris Kyrzyk

Musicians who are interested in learning an ethnic instrument, such as a bandura, often encounter several obstacles. Bandura study has traditionally been learned orally which may or may not be accurate. For a musician, there are several disadvantages when self-learning: slowness of progress, loneliness, and errors in information. There can be several gaps and delays, which can impede technical progress. The bandura is a plucked stringed musical instrument of Ukrainian origin and is a member of the lute family of instruments. It has both piano and guitar characteristics. Many traditional and complex popular music can be played on a bandura. The purpose of the book is to provide beginner and intermediate bandura players with the essential fundamentals to get the most of their bandura. The information in the book is organized for quick reference and guides the learner to an enjoyable playing experience. Its content is conceived by 25 years of enthusiast bandura playing and study in Canada. Visit "The Bandura System" on Facebook and Youtube.
