Emmanuel & Christian are two of the best melodeon players in France & are experts in French regional dance music. They are brilliantly entertaining & very good teachers, being favourites at On Bouge in London. Emmanuel has taught at Concertinas at Witney and regularly leads melodeon-building weeks for EATMT in Suffolk.
The workshop will cover a nice choice of dance tunes from Brittany, central & south-west France, with Christian teaching melody style & Emmanuel chordal accompaniment. Some music will be sent in advance. The workshop is for any instrument but will be especially valuable for melodeon players.
