The Canjo Music Book Holly Gibbons

Music from a "tin" can? Playing music on the old Front Porch, with handmade instruments made from discarded items, has a long history in the United States. The Canjo is a more modern variation earlier single stringed instruments. The Canjo design is fretted, played by fingering and uses discarded food cans for the resonator. The Canjo is a fun and easy way for children and adults alike to learn to play a simple string instrument. The Canjo Music Book is a fun romp through the history of the Canjo all the way to how anyone, young or old, can learn to play the Canjo. Traditional folk songs and Christmas songs from the public domain are included so that the beginner Canjo player can strum right into musical action from the very first note.
