Downtown - A free video tutorial with sheet music
« on: November 25, 2019, 06:43:15 PM »

Yes - it's the old Petula Clark hit from the sixties but before you run away screaming, it actually works really well on the melodeon and it's great fun to play!!

Here's the link to the You Tube tutorial:-

and the sheet music is attached below.

I hope you have fun with this.

All the best

This sounds like a good tune to learn. Well Done !  I have not played for a while but learned to play and recognize notes on the GC accordion.
Do you have this in abc format or a pdf transposed to C from G available so I could play the same way but notes transposed for GC accordion.
What software do you use to create this sheet music ?

Thanks

Hi Don,

Thank you for your kind comment.  I can easily provide a version in C - I'll do it later today.  The software I use is called Notion (Mac).  I find it really easy to use although it wouldn't be everyone's first choice!

Ok - here's the version in C for a GC box.  On my music (in this key) the notes on the C row have normal shaped heads and the notes on the G row have diamond shaped heads.
