Thanks Jim!
hi Daren, Thanks for the great help! I would very appreciate if you could be so nice to continue to make some tutorials for advanced level, when you have time.
After watching the beginners tutorials I personal would like to see how to switch the finger position and how to breath in komplexer melody etc. Thanks again!
Waiting eagerly for next set of lessons 🤩
There’s a book coming very soon :-)
Merci beaucoup
These videos are super helpful and clear that bring me so much joy on my melodion :)
I would love to be able to play some Irish music like you do too!
It would be great if there are other tutorials to futher my melodion journey!
Thanks a million!!!
So good to hear they've been useful!
Waiting for more, Sir.
I’ve been making a book tutorial, very nearly ready!
♥
Hey video Idea try to make a double keyboard Melodica kind of like an organ
I finally finished it and it's literally taught me much than 2 years of school education. Thank you for that :). So what should i do next now? Will you make a different tutorials for Intermediates?
Great to hear you’ve got this far! I’m currently working on a tutorial book, I’ll update the links when it’s ready :-)
I heard your 3d printed melódica 5 yeard ago... Please, talk more about that project! And about the first music that you play
Thanks for your videos, I recently got a melodica and I'm excited to play it more! Just wondering, will you be making a tutorial or tips on cleaning and maintenance on the instrument in the future?
I do hope to at some point. THere's a good thread here melodicaworld.com/forums/topic/give-your-melodica-a-bath/
Wawww me encantooo que hermosooo !!!
I love that melody, thanks to practicing it
Glad you like it!
Great lesson, I really appreciate the resources in the description. I have a question though, how do we know when we will need to shift our hand position and to where. Keep up the great videos!
It's at 3:36. I drew a little green arrow underneath the notes. You shift the whole hand up by 3 notes, so the thumb will be over F, and the 3rd finger over A. Does that help?
Learning to play piano might pickup a melodica and learn it
I find it helps my piano playing
Thankyou sir ... PLEASE provide some further tutorials.
I’ve nearly finished a tutorial book, I’ll post the link in the description once it’s ready
So did you happen to notice that a melodica player has been nominated for an album of the year grammy!? Yes, I'm talking about Jacob Collier (who does a couple more instruments than melodica, tbh . . . like almost all of them -- still, the melodica is definitely highlighted in quite a few videos/recordings, e.g. Georgia on My Mind, the grammy-winning Flintstones, and the just-released Christmas Song). It would be interesting to hear your take on the melodica solos he features on some of his videos/recordings. Indeed, I think it would be quite worthwhile to hear about how different composers/groups have integrated melodica into their compositions, because they felt it served an expressive purpose (not just because it's fun, and easier to carry than a keyboard). Are there classical composers writing for the instrument? Jazz or pop musicians?
I'm a massive fan of Jacob Collier, amazing all round creative genius. There's also Jon Batiste, who plays jazz. And I think Steve Reich was the first (and last?) 'classical' composer to write for it in the 1960s
Thank you for these wonderful lesson. I went thru all of them and i am able to play music smoothly in melodica (with practice) as per your course. What is the next step to learn more intermediate/advance level. There are hardly any teachers and lessons on melodica on an intermediate level. Appreciate your response. :) Thanks for all that you did.
Well done for getting to the end Suresh! I'm working on more materials now. If you join the melodicaworld facebook page or check melodicaworld.com, I'll announce when its ready :-)
*Sub! Thanks! Can you make a video on how to keep melodica tuned for a long time?*
Thanks for watching! To keep your melodica in tune for longer, you could buy a higher end model and try just playing quietly. Doesn't sound like much fun though!
Thanks for teaching again,where can I find more melody?I mean countryside style or classical one.
Look for flute music and violin music, with should work on melodica
Thanks for an amazing series. I have a question, maybe more advanced one. How should i move my hand while playing full keyboard scales or arpegios? Sadly i dont have experience with classical piano, so i have no idea about hand technic
Good question. Work on making your thumb flexible and independent of the other fingers, this really helps. If you need more detailed help, ask on the forum www.melodicaworld.com
Sorry to bother you on your melodica making but I have a question, when will you make a tutorial on how to tune a melodica?
I hope to one day...
I wonder why he's no longer posting videos regularly🤔
I'm making a wooden mega melodica, very nearly finished, also filming, so it will be the next vid!
Hey are you ok you've been gone for a while?
Hey, thanks for asking! I'm well, I've been making a new instrument, I'll be posting a new video about it soon :-)
@@MelodicaWorld do you have an instagram or twitter I can follow on to see what the instrument is?
You were meant to be a teacher or someone online or on television
