Hayden Duet Help Getting Started

[darticus]

Anyone have any music for the Hayden Duet. Even music for the Elise would help. I know the elise has a started book. Maybe a copy of this might help. Anything that gets me to see the technique. Do they sell any music for the duet? Thanks All Ron

Brian Hayden wrote a duet tutor, you can find it here: http://www.concertina.com/hayden-duet/Hayden-All-Systems-Duet-Workshop-Tutor.pdf

 

There's a section on the button layout for the popular types of duets including Hayden and then some practice tunes that gradually increase in difficulty.

There are some arrangements for MacCann , and thus Duets in general, that can be found at www.concertina.com

There's no music written for the Hayden (or very little, anyway). It's a newish system for playing oldish tunes (I know... I know...). Any collection of morris dance tunes, contradance tunes, Playford tunes, French bourrées, etc. will get you started.

Judy Hawkins did a series of posts on learning to play the Hayden:

It would certainly help you if you got two large sheets of paper for left hand and right hand and write out the layout of your instrument, Invest in a chord book and some simple music and play in twenty minute bursts about 1-3 sessions a day.

Good luck
