The goal of this book is to serve as a reference foundation for the lute, both for a beginner and for a teacher who wants to instruct beginners.

Through well-known melodies and songs that cover the most representative areas of mainland and island Greece, the beginner lute player will understand the dual role of the instrument, both in a soloistic and rhythmic character.

The main concern is for the student to be introduced to the timbres and rhythms of tradition, while uniquely and creatively maintaining their love for the instrument.

• Well-known melodies and songs.
• Dual role of the lute: solo and rhythmic.
• Introduction to the timbres and rhythms of tradition.
