About

Nordictunes

My name is Kim Risberg and I am the person behind NordicTunes. I am a Finnish citizen but grew up in Sweden. Over the years I have also been strongly inspired by Norwegian folk music. In this way, I have brought folk music naturally with me from several places – Finland, Sweden and Norway –, something that has characterized both my major playing and my view of folk music in general.

I have played major games on and off for about forty years, and the instrument has become a companion that I always return to. For more than ten years, I have held song courses at Nääs, something that has become a recurring tradition every summer. We mostly play songs from the Nordics, and the structure of the Nääs courses is based on learning by ear, by seeing how the songs are played, and with the help of sheet music.

The idea for NordicTunes was born out of these courses. I wanted to create a similar arrangement for major players online, where you can easily learn different songs, regardless of level or experience. NordicTunes uses the same principles as the courses at Nääs – with hearing, viewing and sheet music as support – so that everyone can find a way that suits them.

Den glade norrmannen i moll

Här är en  schottis jag gjorde sommaren 2012.
Den är tillägnad en gladlynt norsk spelkompis som älskar moll-låtar,så därav namnet “Den glade norrmanen i moll”
