Marcus Posted May 31, 2007 Posted May 31, 2007 Does anyone know of any really good English style anglo tutors? There a lots of Irish ones, but not so many English Style ones.

Try Roger Digby's "Faking it" or JK's 3 part article on Anglo playing. For an excellent audio tutorial see Alan Day's Anglo tutorial - W
Robin Harrison Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 I would start with Bertram Levy's book that takes you immediately to tunes RH, accompaniment LH in a staightforward way.There's also the CD with it. Robin
Marcus Posted June 1, 2007 Author Posted June 1, 2007 Thanks folks, I actually have Bertram Levy's book and have gone through that. I was hoping that there might be something more! I have Alan Day's tutor and I'm working on that now, but I don't really learn by ear so I've downloaded the sheet music to accompany the audio. I like the Faking It method and I'm hoping to progress to that. As an overview to Englisg style playing I found John Kirkpatricks series pretty good, but I wish there'd been more than just 3 articles!

In concertina.com http://www.concertina.com/anglo/index.htm you can find a couple of older tutors for the "anglo german" concertina, e.g., Jones' tutor. Those are in the English style: melody on the right hand and accompaniment on the left. ocd

JK was supposed to have been working on a DVD Anglo tutorial with Mrs Casey records - similar to his "How to play Melodeon" DVDs. When I contacted John last summer to ask about this he said it was due to be out last Autumn - but no sign of it yet.
