LEARN HOW TO PLAY ANCIENT LYRES!

My next series of videos attempts to explain how to play some of the actual surviving fragments of music from ancient Greece:
This next instructional video I uploaded, demonstrates how to improvise on an ancient Egyptian scale, as deciphered by the late Professor Hans Hickmann. I used this scale in my improvisation "The Music of Moses" (track 1 of my album, "King David's Lyre; Echoes of Ancient Israel"):
I have also recently compiled a new series of lessons on how to play the chelys (tortoise shell form) lyre of ancient Greece:
