Learn to Play Bellydance Music Toolkit

Description

Guitars and keyboards can be used to play Bellydance music. But getting the music scales right requires bending some notes or doing some quarter-tone tuning. Using instruments like the Oud, Violin, Cello, Saz, Buzuk, Qanun, Cumbus or wind instruments like Nay or Zurna or Mizmar makes it easier. But no matter what instruments are in your hands this toolkit has something for you. Valuable info on time signatures makes percussionists happy too!
