Introduction to Concertinas workshop / DC-Maryland-Virginia area

[Jim Besser]

Randy Stein and I are doing an Introduction to Concertinas workshop for the School of Musical Traditions in Rockville, Md. on June 22.

 

Aimed at beginners and those who have just gotten the itch to play, we'll cover the basics: what concertina system is right for you?  What are the advantages/disadvantages of each?  What resources are available for learning concertina?  How much money do you need to spend to start down this road?

 

And we'll teach a few simple tunes.  There will be several loaner instruments available for those who need them.

 

Randy plays English, and focuses on jazz, pop and classical; I play Anglo, with an emphasis on traditional dance music, with a side interest in ragtime. So we cover a pretty wide range of styles.

 

If you know anybody in the Washington/ Baltimore area who might be interested, pass this on!
