In this course you will find 10 video lessons to start your journey with the gadulka instrument. The gadulka is a traditional Bulgarian bowed string instrument. Alternate spellings are "gǎdulka", "gudulka" and "g'dulka". Its name comes from a root meaning "to make noise, hum or buzz". The gadulka is an integral part of Bulgarian traditional instrumental ensembles, commonly played in the context of dance music. The lessons from this course are aimed to help beginners learn the basics- how to hold the instrument, how to produce clear sound and how to play one of the most popular Bulgarian folk songs. You will also benefit from a lot of exercises. For your convenience, the videos are recorded with high resolution, filmed both from far away and with a closer look. I am pleased to welcome everyone to this course, although to get the best experience from it, I recommend you to have a basic musical knowledge such as understanding of musical notes or modes.
