4.0 out of 5 stars
The original method in English, will always be valuable,
By
This review is from: Elementary Method for the Balalaika
Until Bibs Ekkel wrote his Mel Bay's Complete Bailalaika Book this was *the* method to have. It was for many years the only method available in English, originally translated in 1964 from the original Russian-language edition. This is the same edition as published then, still worth the small investment. I still have my original 1964 copy!
The introductory material is succinct and gives you everything you would need to know to get started. Although the pictures are quite "old", they are helpful in reviewing your hand positions. This book is full of music throughout and would be an excellent companion to the Ekkel book. If you're serious about learning the balalaika you owe it to yourself to buy both books for the price of what would normally be a single music lesson.

This review is from: Elementary Method for the Balalaika (Paperback)
This book is the best buy for a beginner to play the balalaika.
The book from Bibs Ekel is to difficult for just a beginner. All you need to learn is here. I find these book the best for beginning to play the prim balalaika. That,s the result of 5 stars i give it.
