Melodeon Workshop - Beginners Part 1

Expert melodeon player Simon Care is back with another chance to try the small but mighty squeezebox, with instruments provided so that beginners can have their first go.

Drawing on traditional English dance tunes, the workshop will introduce basic technique, how to play with rhythm and feel, and how to play with other musicians.

The day is ideal for anyone with an interest in English folk music, folk dance, or trying a squeezebox for the first time. You don’t need to be able to read music notation, and no previous squeezebox or folk music experience is required, but a basic knowledge of music (scales, chords, time signatures) will help. Notes provided.

Tea/coffee provided. Snack bar open at lunchtime.
