Overview

Douglas Barr, Tuesdays, 6pm—7pm

8 weekly sessions beginning Tuesday, September 24, 2019  

The Beginners/Basic class will be oriented toward beginners on the anglo concertina. It will also be suited for those who can play a few notes and even a few tunes. We will learn some simple tunes, review scales and ornamentation, and cover the basic fingering choices which are unique to the concertina and can sometimes be confusing to the beginner. Tunes will be taught by ear, although standard notation and ABC will also be provided. If you need help learning to read music, we will cover that too! We will also be listening to selected recordings of the great players. All ages are welcome. Bring your concertina and some kind of audio recorder. Be ready to have some fun. 

No concertina? No problem! There are a limited number of concertinas available to rent for a small fee.
