Inherited a concertina. No idea what to do with it!

PS I'm a girl BTW

 

I thought you were probably a baby kangaroo from the Hundred Acre Wood. Certainly not a GIRL.

 

 

Well, if you thought that Dirge, you are clearly a duet player of little brain! May you rue the day you made the remark!!

Good grief, Chris; have you no shame?

Nope, I am completely shameless!

I was given a guitar at school and the music teacher took it away from me after a month. I was also banned from compulsory choir practice and made to do extra Latin instead. Music and I are as strangers - much to my dismay No. I shall not be learning - which is what makes it sadder for me as I would love to have an aptitude for it.

I'm rubbish at music...find it difficult to read the 'dots' and was told at school not to continue playing the recorder for a second term coz I was that bad. I've tried and failed the guitar. People run from the room sreaming when I attempt to sing. I've never really been able to get a whole song out of a instrument till now.

If I can get a tune out of a concertina anyone can.

 

 

Well LTD, I am glad to hear the you are feeling like you are getting a tune out of your concertina...good for you, and good for you to pass on your enthusiasm.

Well I don't think I'm that good..but my family have stopped closing doors and shouting 'shut up' when I practice so I'm guessing I've improved. lol! My grandparents even ask for me to show them what new tunes I've learnt when they visit. (My grandad been inspired to go buy a keyboard ).

If you're inspiring others to play then you're going great guns, LDT!

Its not just me we take it in turns...after dinner I play then my brother plays the guitar, then my sister plays the guitar. (does that technically count as a session?)

 

The funny thing is he said the keyboard must be broken because it doesn't play the notes he wants when he presses them....my grandma's like 'the keyboard's not broken its just you'. lol!
