Beginners Melodeon Tunes and Techniques the soundtrack to the book

This is a great musical resource for the DG melodeon player and is a fine collection of traditional music introducing dance tunes from various regions of Britain, Ireland and North America.

They are all excellent tunes, well known and popular, but not over-played, hackneyed or obscure and add massively to the DG melodeon players repertoire.
Most of the tunes can be heard on recordings by notable bands and personalities, they are all currently in use by traditional musicians and are regularly played at concerts, dances and pub sessions.

All the tunes introduce some aspect of melodeon playing to further enhance technique and playing styles.
