Learn to play DG melodeon with expert guidance from a professional musician and specialist folk teacher. Once you've learned the basics you can join Kitty's popular and sociable 'Play it By Ear' evening classes. Explore the instrument to its full depths, learning purely by ear or with full understanding of notation and chord theory. Testimonials: 'I struggled trying to teach myself for a couple of years, then booked a few lessons with Kitty. I so wish I'd done that from the start! Before I was just pushing buttons, now I feel I'm playing music and understanding some of the theory behind it all. I could never have made that leap on my own.' Dave G 'Your workshops are brilliant, and as a total beginner, I very much appreciate being given such a good start. So much more to learn !!'

Starting from absolute beginners the step by step approach takes you through the mysteries of playing the D/G melodeon all the way to advanced techniques playing in C major and A Major. There is no need to be able to read music with this book as Ed has devised a unique numbering system to get you playing from the start. It’s also handy for explaining the more complicated fingering patterns. Many who have been taught by Ed have inadvertently learned how to read music as a by-product of this system! This 54 page book comes with a 42 track CD, so you can hear what things are supposed to sound like. It also comes with a DVD of 30 video clips with right and left hand techniques shown in close up. Sometimes the written word just isn’t enough. www.spinningpathmusic.co.uk
