Nice little tune and much of it you play well.

Pull notes on the Anglo and Melodeon are harder to control, there is always a tendency to slur these notes against a crisp push note. The slurring of pull notes creates difficulties in fast passages as it is easy to run out of time and can create errors.

Therefore your push notes are crisp and nicely in time with the music whereas your pull notes (particularly on the left hand) are giving you problems. I would suggest that you practice a run of pull notes (any note you choose) and try to play them crisply from slow to fast to improve this aspect of your playing.

I would normally have contacted you in private on this, but it is such a common problem that it may help others.

Excellent observations--and perfect for all of us! Thanks. And thanks to LDT for letting us learn off his great tune.

Alan since you mentioned it have been trying to play the 'problem' bars over and over to make them better.

 

Thanks Shelley.
