Workshop day with Will Pound at Halsway manor. Evening gig at Pebbles Tavern, Watchet.
Beginners/Intermediate Workshop runs 10am until 12.30pm
The focus will be on bellow control, rhythm, chord shapes and major and minor scales. Will is a great believer that the melodeon is not as difficult an instrument as it is made out to be! He’ll show you a few simple steps to get you started on the way to finding your own style and understanding how the instrument works.
Intermediate/Advanced Workshop runs 1.30 to 4pm
The focus will be on different bellows techniques, cross-rowing to improve chord choices, percussive techniques, accompanying singers and other instrumentalists and rhythm.
Rather than just learning tunes we’ll look at ways to improve the tunes you already know and ways to apply the things you learn to tunes you will learn in the future.
