CONCERTINA WORKSHOP

Places £30

Saturday 6th. June 2009

10.45 a.m.- 4.45 p.m.

The Crown Inn, 191, High St, Lewes, BN7 2NA www.crowninn-lewes.co.uk/

 

Rob is widely considered the leading concertina player of his generation. He is known for his work with The English Acoustic Collective, Emma Reid, Tim van Eyken, and Nancy Kerr and James Fagan. He has been a popular tutor for Folkworks, Hands-On Music, the International Concertina Association and a great many more.

 

The workshop will look at a number of techniques involved in developing a personal style of playing – phrasing, pulse, dynamics, ornamentation, fingering and use of the bellows. We will also look at some approaches to chords and harmony. Rob’s technical knowledge is mostly centered on the English system, but the workshops are open to players of all systems as many aspects of the workshop apply to other types of concertina.

NANCY KERR, JAMES FAGAN & ROB HARBRON
