Nytram Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hi everyone I've been making a few video tutorials for beginners of English concertina and uploading them to YouTube. I'm no great shakes as a player but just wanted to pass on a few helpful hints and tips to get people started. Here's the link to the first one ... Next to the video player on the YouTube page there's a link called 'More From This User'. The next few videos can be found there. Each video is just under 10 mins long. What do you think? And is there anyone out there who could do some 'Intermediate/Improvers' tutorials? Regards Martyn Allen Ipswich UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice. I look forward to your next videos. Hi there ... thanks for the kind comments ... it's a tenor/treble Aeola with Rosewood ends and matching bellows ... made by Steve Dickinson (Wheatstone) in 1988 especially for Jenny Cox who lives in the Bristol area and runs regular concertina band workshops.

fiddlerjoebob Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Martyn, I had my English for a week when you first started to put up your lessons. I have watched them all and, well I am getting the hang of it. Your lessons are very helpful and...you have a nice, warm style of teaching.

SqeezerGeezer Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Dick, I have been working from your tutor as well as your tune book. It is very helpful to hear or (even better) see how you are adding accompaniment chords and patterns to the tunes in your book. However, if these are posted on youtube, the focus needs to be on the concertina, not the player. And both a slow speed and normal speed would be great. Thanks for all the help.

Pam Bishop Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I've been making a few video tutorials for beginners of English concertina and uploading them to YouTube. I'm no great shakes as a player but just wanted to pass on a few helpful hints and tips to get people started. Martyn Allen Ipswich UK Martin - this is a really great idea, but the terminology is confusing. The term "English concertina" normally means a concertina with "English fingering", that has the same note on the push and the pull, unlike yours which uses "Anglo fingering" and has different notes on the push and pull. So it would be better if the title of your posts and videos were to refer to the Anglo concertina rather than the English concertina. All the best - Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symon Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Pam, I wonder if you have been looking at the right thing? The youtube tutorials by Martin are definitely for an English concertina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
