Instruments
Skills
and Music
|
We welcome players of English, Anglo and Duet concertina systems. The music will be arranged in parts to accomodate players of Treble, Baritone and Bass concertinas. Players are welcome to bring more than one concertina to the event.
Whilst players of all skill levels are welcome, some music reading will be essential. Most music will be arranged in the keys of C, G and D, but F and Bb may also be used for some pieces. Music is normally presented in Treble Clef, but Bass Clef versions can be provided if required.
Music is not sent out in advance. This not only saves money on postage, but also means that all players learn the music together. We request that the scores provided are returned at the end of the day.

There will be breaks at convenient points when tea and coffee will be served. The cost of these refreshments is included in the price for the day.
Players of Piccolo and Tenor/Treble concertinas are most welcome, however specific parts will not be provided for these instruments, the Treble lines will be suitable.
Players with long distances to travel will find a range of suitable accomodation available in the area.
