English Concertina - 25 Video Lessons For Absolute Beginners

[Daddy Long Les]

I have now recorded and posted 25 of these videos which can be found here:-

All of the pieces have a tab and in some cases, musical notation, which can be downloaded from my website www.daddylongles.com Go to "Concertina Music".

 

All of these tunes are suitable for absolute beginners - my wife Jenny has started learning and is working her way through the lessons. Inevitably some people will find some tunes harder than others but my hope is that if a starter can play these pieces, it may whet their appetite to have proper lessons and go onto more advanced tunes.

 

More to come!

 

All the best

Thanks for your videos. I became a concertina owner 2 days ago. Had never played one before but have musical experience on guitar, bass and ukulele. I am now able to play half way through Shepherds Hey on my new toy already thanks to your tutorial

I second Janice. You've helped me a lot, especially in learning which button does which note .

 

And Janice, welcome to the madness. I'm only about 2 weeks ahead of you. If you enjoy it half as much as I do, you'll never put it down.
