9 Easy Melodies for Beginners – Lyre Sheet Music
19.00 €
“There is no benefit when music stands secret and hidden.” — Lucian
It is not a secret that music (and the lyre) profoundly imbued ancient Greek society, as none other civilization in history used music so often through its literature, art, public and private activities.
This is your chance to learn your first songs on the lyre; nine easy melodies, including five ancient surviving songs and four modern tunes!
They were chosen carefully by Lina Palera, the beloved lyre instructor at the LyreAcademy.com, to help every beginner to gradually build an impressive music repertoire with confidence.
Songs’ list: Tetrasimon ✦ Exasimon ✦ Dodekasimon ✦ Melody in 6/8 rhythm ✦ Happy Birthday to You ✦ The River ✦ Kolon Exasimon ✦ Old Times ✦ Embrace
“This Sheet Music Book is our latest addition to our effort to enrich the available educational resources for lyre and lyre-like musical instruments,” Nikolaos Koumartzis, the series’ director, explains.
The book is part of the Lyre Sheet Music series, in which some of the greatest lyre players around the world participate, including Lina Palera, Thanasis Kleopas, Michael Levy, Theodore Koumartzis, Giorgio Sancristoforo, et cetera.
Pages: 20 | Dimensions: 9 x 12 inches

“With such an abundance of scorebooks for the guitar or the piano, it is not by accident that modern lyre players are striving to learn using educational material that was not designed for their instruments,” Nikolaos Koumartzis, this series’ director, explains.
