David Barnert Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 ...the principles are applicable to all instruments... Would it make any sense attending the workshop (Massachusetts) playing a Hayden Duet? Hi David, Bertram came to Palestine, Texas a few years ago and did workshops. I play a Crane duet. I have to say that I enjoyed him immensely and took all sorts of tidbits from the workshops. He does do a lot with fingering that isn't useful, but the rest of it was. He did a master class where I was able to play a piece and he critiqued it. If you can manage something like that, well... I learned much. Kind regards and take care. Kurt Thanks, Kurt. Good hearing from you. I had a feeling that might be the case. I'm going to see if I can get away that weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it make any sense attending the workshop (Massachusetts) playing a Hayden Duet? ...Having said that there will be a considerable discussion of principles of learning on the instrument, practice and study techniques, tehnical aspects of bellows use and accenting, fingering attacks for legato and staccato, phrasing, stylistic details of American fiddle bowing styles to the concertina and coujnterpoint with voice leading basslines Wish I knew more about the crane system but unfortunately my plate is full just trying to keep the claves of the C/G Anglo and the bandoneon seperate.

Well, I just registered at the Button Box workshop. Maybe I'll even borrow a C/G (I have no experience playing one, but it can't hurt to have one at hand). Note, the workshop is not actually at the Button Box, it's in Amherst, at the Unitarian Universalist Church, which should be familiar to anyone who has been to any but the most recent of the Northeast Concertina Workshops. Anybody else going or want to share a ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdms Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Anybody else going or want to share a ride? I'm going (my initial belief that I couldn't turned out to be incorrect), but coming from the opposite direction...echoing David's question: anyone want to share a ride from Boston and its environs?

I sent you a PM earlier--we can work out details through that, or email if that's more convenient (I'll send you another PM with my email address in it).
