jgwaller Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hi all, I'm brand-new and looking to learn the concertina (goal is to be competent with Irish music, shanties, and some American folk). I've purchased a "Wren 2" Anglo C/G 30-key concertina from McNeera, and am slowly going through the accompanying videos - but it's been a long time since I've learned an instrument, and to be honest it's been very slow going just getting a handle on scales, let alone anything further. I'm just too rusty with teach yourself strategies, and would like a little push to get me going. To that end, I was wondering if anyone knew a concertinist in the Washington, DC area that might be able to take on a very beginner for some start up lessons? Keeping in mind appropriate coronavirus-mitigation, of course. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpreble Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hi JGWALLER we are in the same boat! I just purchased the same instrument and have been doing the very same. I found an instructor through lots of email jumps, happy to share her info with you if you email me. I am also going to be joining this virtual MAD Week :https://www.ccemadweek.com/class-list You should do the same! Shoot me an email and I will show you what I have figured out so far!!
