Do you already know Jule Bauer (@julebauer.nyckelharpa)? She is one of the most talented musicians and authors on the scene and a true master of the nyckelharpa, one of the most fascinating instruments in traditional music. Jule has a long history with the Spielleute publishing house – she bought her first folk and early music CDs here back in the early 90s. Back then, these were her first steps into the world of traditional music, which she is still passionate about today.
Today, Jule is not only an important artist, but is also represented with several projects in the Spielleute publishing house. These include the band Triskilian, with whom she has released CDs, and of course her own nyckelharpa textbook, which she proudly holds up to the camera in this video. This textbook is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn the nyckelharpa – whether you are a beginner or already experienced and want to improve your skills.
Jule explains: “If you want to learn to play the nyckelharpa, her instruction book offers you everything you need – from the first steps to finding melodies and playing together with other instruments. The nyckelharpa is an instrument full of sound magic that unfolds its very own charm both in solo performances and in ensembles.
