Helloo, my friends of OAIM, that's a greatest pleasure watching your video. I'm looking forward to this although I'm not a musician. So here we go!😘💖🎵🎼🎶👍☘
Picked up a concertina a few days ago. Found this video looking up ornamentations. I’m coming over from a piano accordion so I like my full triads, but not much bellows to work with. 😂
Hello! I've been waiting to learn concertina for a while now but I've run into a couple of problems. There are no nearby lessons for me and I have a difficult time trying to learn things on my own due to some problems. I do know of some accordion lessons close by. Is it possible to learn concertina through accordion lessons?
Hi, it's a Jeffries. Are you playing concertina? There's some buying help here and general FAQ's on this page - www.oaim.ie/concertina/concertina-basics/
I don't quite understand the second phrase. You seem to be playing a something different to what's written on the screen. I'm just starting on concertina so forgive me if this seems like a silly query .
Can't say I'm impressed by the tab system. It's just as easy to learn proper musical notation, folks, and infinitely more flexible and useful. Five-year-olds can learn it and so can you. Sometimes shortcuts turn out to be longcuts...
In Irish music, we learn by ear. ABC to support the initial stage of getting the tune 'under the fingers' - then we use our ear and don't need any notation.
@@justinward3218 The great majority of good trad musicians use both. I've never understood why people would boast about being illiterate. For any serious musician, the ability to read and write music notation is a major convenience, and for a pro it's pretty much essential. Can you really remember thousands of tunes without a fake sheet? Do you really want to deprive yourself of the ability to work through old tune collections and unearth neglected gems? Or jot down a tune to share? Or restrict yourself to tunes with accessible recordings? As I said - I could read music by the age of 5. It's not difficult, especially on a melody instrument. There'a nothing to be scared of.

I am all ears and fingers ready to play. I am almost all Irish and a little German. says Judy Corrette

.
Remember to play the F as F# and the C as C# in this key
It is, she is playing FEE not FED as it is written. Sounds both nice, though.
@@IslandForestPlains Dont focus too much on notation and focus more on fingering and what sounds better to you.
How can I get one?
Hi Herbert, Let me know your budget and location and I'll help you buy a concertina.

So incredibly lovely. Oh, and the tune is wonderful too.
