pythagoras Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I am a beginner with the English concertina and in my search for appropriate music to practise with I came across a website which provides a tune a day with free sheet music and accompanying MP3. The site is: https://www.flutetunes.com/. While the site is designed for flute, the tunes also work well for concertina. They have an enormous library of tunes which can be searched by Title, Composer, Instrumentation, Category, Difficulty or Key. I have found the site really useful, so thought that other players might also like to know about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Wilson Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Welcome to C-net, a place where you'll find friendly people with helpful advice. At least I've found it like that for the last few years so hoping to see you around here again. Thanks also for the link, at first look it seems like a useful site with quite a range of music. I'll be going back to download a few pieces. Cheers Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTim Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) thank you for that link! Makes me wish I had more high notes though! [EDIT for additional info] : You can use Advanced Search to select pieces within a certain range, with highest note, lowest note, etc... very useful if you don't want to spend hours browsing every music sheet. Wish I'd noticed earlier Edited August 13, 2017 by TimTim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tolhurst Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Thanks for the link to the flute tunes, Pythagoras. I guess it really has the right angle on things (sorry!). I particularly liked the relatively easy duets. Since Steve Wilson parted with his Duet Concertina and bequeathed it to me, I have been struggling to find sheet music which is appropriate, especially with my so far pedestrian capacity on the instrument, but some of the duets look eminently achievable, and in sensible keys, too! So, thanks, and hi , Steve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Pythagoras, do you know about https://thesession.org/ ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIMON GABRIELOW Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 On the subject of using flute tunes for concertina; a good idea. I play Anglo system, and have used instrumental music intended for other instrument other than concertina most of the time. It widens the scope and opportunity to learn and play in different ways than that usually expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardr Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I'm a beginner. I've played a 48 button Wheatstone EC less than a year. Easy Music is an Italian website that contains a lot of free popular sheet music for various instruments. Some have videos that show the notes while being played. I find the search feature works best if the song title is typed in all caps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
