Beginners

The printed pieces of music on this page are for BEGINNERS. They introduce basic taboring techniques and the pieces all have a limited range of up to to 6 notes - which is why the pieces go under the heading of "Knock 'Em For Six!"  They are FREE to download. There are a variety of pieces including Folk, Medieval, Renaissance, Popular, Classical, Morris, Playford, Children's Songs - indeed something for everyone. I am grateful for the help of Gillian Guest in preparing these files.
