Folk 'Taster' Weekend for Absolute Beginners
Fri 4 - Sun 6 Oct 2019
New for 2019, this ‘taster’ weekend offers the opportunity for complete beginners to discover one of the following: folk dance with Jenny Read, folk fiddle with Matt Norman, folk harp with Steph West OR DG MELODEON WITH ED RENNIE!
Unravel the mysteries of the DG Melodeon, for absolute beginners. Ed has a methodical step-by-step approach to help you get started on the right path. Boxes are available to borrow, or if you have a DG melodeon bring it along. Ed will teach by ear and with music – but don’t panic, you don’t need to know how to read music in advance. All are welcome, and you’re never too old to try something new!
A founder member of the Devon Squeezebox Foundation, Ed Rennie is passionate about helping people get started – and keep going! He has published a number of tutorial books and CDs, runs beginners workshops at venues including Halsway Manor and festivals including Sidmouth Folk Week. For a long time best known as the melodeon player in The Bismarcks, Ed is also a fine singer, and plays bass for the Dartmoor Pixie Band.
