A Month of Meditation Etudes
PRE-ORDER (Before October 10)

30 Meditation Etudes for Mountain Dulcimer by Steve Eulberg

DIGITAL ONLY The PDF with music and tablature for all 30 arrangements, together with a listening recording of demonstrations of each etude are also included in .mp3 form.

Etudes that can help you focus, exercise, and relax at the same time.

I have been using these daily for over 2-1/2 years during a season of personal upheaval and challenge.

I set up one of my dulcimers in a 4-Equidistant String pattern, tuned to C-G-c-d, kept it by my bed and played it when I awoke in the morning and before I laid down to sleep at night.

I did NOT try to play music.  Instead I began using repeatable mechanical patterns played slowly and evenly. In using these very mechanical patterns, I have found:

  1. cleaner and clearer tone from my finger placement

  2. a deeper awareness of what my fingers need to do to for harp-like reverb

  3. attention that helps me prevent buzzes and inadvertent string bumps from both hands

The bonuses I also received that I DID NOT expect:

  • a sense of calm by clarifying my focus, letting go of what has already been played

  • a slowing of my heartbeat by settling into the patterns in a gentle way

  • a peace that has accompanied my healing journey that provide hope for each next step

  • unexpected "musical" results!

So I have gathered the 30 Etude arrangements together into a collection so that you can focus on just one a day for a month before repeating.

After the pre-order period, there are plans for a physical book/CD.
