This is an eBook (PDF) version of a 1963 edition of the best selling balalaika tutorial by A. Dorozhkin.

This book, though in Russian, is almost self-explanatory due to the pictures and diagrams. Its incredible value is in exercises and sheet music. There are plenty of very easy and nice songs with simple variations to get you going! Maybe I should do a video tutorial on them? So many ideas, so little time.

Here are samples of lessons, exercises and sheet music:

Sample 1

Sample 2

Sample 3

This is a very meticulous book complete with all articulations, string numbers and fingerings.

Song index:
