Melodeon Book Absolute Beginners - Dave Mallinson","description":"\u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aim of this book is to get students off to the best possible start on the D\/G melodeon, by presenting information that might otherwise take years to accumulate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There are many styles of traditional music where the melodeon and its siblings play a major role. Irish, English, French, Tex-Mex, French Canadian, Cajun, Morris and Zydeco are all typical examples. This is not intended to be a specialist book but it endeavours to give students a good grounding, helping them to easily move on to whatever music genre takes their fancy. However, the lessons within are completely based on traditional playing styles and tunes from Britain and Ireland.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In all walks of life, whether it be mathematics, designing aeroplanes or playing the violin, mankind progresses by first being taught what previous generations have learned, before moving on. Unfortunately, in the case of the melodeon, this doesn‰۪t seem to happen; melodeon students all seem to have to start at rock bottom and work things out for themselves. Although things are improving considerably there is still a long way to go; hopefully, this book will make a useful and effective contribution to rectifying this situation.åÊ\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e If you want to become proficient on any musical instrument, you must practise. There is no way round this. You can have the best tuition in the world, but without practice it is useless. Unfortunately, without guidance, it is very easy for students to find themselves practising unsound techniques and falling into bad habits and sloppy playing. It is the intention of this book to steer players into acquiring efficient techniques and to help them develop good habits, from day one.

Since then she has remained a close friend, and a major musical influence on my playing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Karen has a wonderful style; she has the ability to really make the tunes speak for themselves. Any tune sounds great in her hands, but I know that this has come through her determination and dedication, also as a result of playing in many, many sessions, jams and gatherings. She is always up for learning new tunes and loves to encourage new players just taking up the accordion, as she did with me.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e I have known Dave Mallinson, or ‰Û÷Mally‰۪ as he is affectionately known, even longer than I have known Karen.

Whenever I think of Dave Mallinson, I think of music sessions. He is a great player, and always up for learning a tune or teaching one. His repertoire of tunes from brilliant sessions is second to none, and this becomes a great asset when putting a book like this together.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Karen and Dave make a great team, Karen with her piano accordion expertise, and Dave with his vast session repertoire.

He seemed to be ever-present on the scene, whether playing a concert or festival, with his long-standing duo partner Denny Bartley, or just in a pub session. Any occasion is raised a gear with the addition of his wicked sense of humour, his cheeky grin and, most of all, his spellbinding music.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e He has been a permanent fixture on the scene ever since, including his part in the massively successful band Last Night‰۪s Fun. Every time I saw Chris play I wanted to have a go at playing the Anglo, until in 2004 I bought one, in a moment of unprecedented impulse buying. I haven‰۪t looked back since. It is a fascinating, beautiful instrument, with the ability to play both euphoric dance music and melancholic airs.

Loosely speaking, the jigs and reels found in this book are the next most popular after those found in 100 Essential Irish Session Tunes. Another major feature of this book is the prominence given to the various other types of tune, such as slides, set dances, hornpipes etc. They always come a poor third to reels and jigs, but they constantly crop up in the sessions with such a significant frequency that they cannot be ignored. There are hornpipes, marches, a strong selection of jigs, some slip jigs and one or two other well-known melodies to spice up your repertoire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100 tunes (14 hornpipes, 15 slides, 34 jigs, 23 reels and 14 miscellaneous tunes) with chords, classified and alphabetical (with alternative titles) indexes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImportant note from Mally\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe tune settings in this book are all 'session friendly', i.e. you can learn them exactly as written and know that you will have a perfectly acceptable version. However, I consider it unwise to learn a tune from only one source and I would suggest strongly that, when learning a new tune, you pay heed to settings in other books, on recordings and what you hear down the pub. It is important to note that the settings in this book are greatly influenced by the instrument I play, the D\/G melodeon. I've made a conscious effort to allow this to happen in order to give the book its own unique character. The list below would constitute an excellent nucleus towards forming a valuable Irish music library, many of them are available from mally.com. When choosing books, take care not to be put off by the title; some of the best sources of tunes are from tuition books. Just because the book cover says 'Learn to Play the Banjo', don't think it's of no use if you play the tin whistle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBooks will only help you to learn the notes of a tune. To pick up the rhythm of Irish music you must devote a large amount of time listening to both recordings and live musicians. Of greatest importance, you must practise; the value of these books is directly proportional to the number of hours a day you spend

However, it's absolutely vital that you are familiar with these tunes, as you'll find them cropping up time and time again. They are the foundation on which Irish music sessions are built. You could say that these tunes are even more essential than those in 100 Essential Irish Session Tunes. Every type of dance tune is represented: reels, jigs, hornpipes, polkas, slides, slip jigs, marches, set dances, waltzes, mazurkas, flings, a varsovienne, a barn dance, a single reel and a single jig\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe tune settings in this book are all ‰Û÷session friendly‰۪, i.e. you can learn them exactly as written and know that you will have a perfectly acceptable version.

With melody, chords and variations, the book is ideally suited for any instrument, but one of the prime factors in the selection of the tunes has been the fact that they sit so happily on the push-pull squeeze-box scale.

It's full to bursting with useful ideas, hints, tricks, tips, techniques and great tunes to improve your playing style, speed up the learning process and to give you a better understanding of the instrument. It's been a massive project, but it's been well worth it, I've learned such a lot by writing it. When I got my first instrument there wasn't a single D\/G tutor book on the market, and even now, fifty years on, you'll be lucky to find a dozen, so acquire every book you can. If you are new to the instrument, use this book in conjunction with simpler tutors. The lessons start at rock bottom, but the degree of difficulty rises steeply. Above the music, in addition to the fingering instructions, there are icons with names you might find corny and mildly amusing. However, they are essential to describe the fingering patterns, and a useful handle to help you apply them to other tunes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou might think this book is a bit too complicated to be called “Beginners”. Yes, that may be so, but if you want to become proficient, you must practise, and without guidance you can easily find yourself practising unsound techniques. It's no use waiting until you've formed bad habits before you think you are ready to tackle these lessons. Once you've learned a tune thoroughly, it can be very difficult to change the way you play it, after discovering a superior fingering pattern. Presented in this book is knowledge that has slowly trickled in during half a century of study. It's my hope and desire that it will inspire players, boost their progress, propel their playing to excellence, and spur them on to perform with far greater skill, dexterity and aplomb, than I have been able to achieve.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInstant Melodeon, Absolute Beginners and Tunes and Techniques are three melodeon

Molly responded “Vibes. I was thinking of doing some songs I haven’t done in a while, from when I was a kid?”. “Cool. Nice” affirmed Murray and the project was then in motion, almost effortlessly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir intention to capture some of the joy and magic they had been feeling during their live sets resulted in this collection of traditional songs, performed in entirely new ways. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt proved to be much more than simply looking back\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e, with Molly finding catharsis singing songs from her childhood in Gaelic and English - now honoured by the spontaneous musical worlds conjured by Adam Summerhayes and Murray Grainger. For Molly these are also the songs through which she developed her craft and then won the All-Ireland Scór na nÓg with - so there’s a real passion at play here. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Grainger says: “Molly is probably the finest singer I’ve ever worked with. She’s ridiculously good.” Singing in English and Irish Gaelic, she brings a wonderfully contemporary timbre to these traditional songs. “She is such a capable and imaginative singer,” adds Summerhayes. “In the same way as we react to her, she absolutely reacts to us. So if we’ve suddenly taken a song in a different direction, she will absolutely go with it without a pause. I don’t know any other singer who’s quite as flexible.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  \u003ca\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"credits-label\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003ereleased June 7, 2024 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUNDER THE EAVES RECORDS CAT# UTE 009 \u003cbr\u003eVocals: Molly Donnery \u003cbr\u003eInstrumentals: Adam Summerhayes (fiddle), Murray Grainger (accordion \/ stomp box) \u003cbr\u003eRecorded, produced and mixed by Murray Grainger \u003cbr\u003eMastered by Jon Astley \u003cbr\u003eArtwork by Adam Summerhayes \u003cbr\u003eRecorded at Under The Eaves studio, Rosedale. \u003cbr\u003eLyric Book: \u003cbr\u003eIllustrated by Adam Summerhayes. \u003cbr\u003e© \u0026amp; P 2024 Adam Summerhayes, Murray Grainger \u0026amp; Molly Donnery\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"license-label\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"info license\" id=\"license\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"cc-icons commercial\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eall rights reserved\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"The Ciderhouse Rebellion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49379931291967,"sku":"TCR-MD-SlantCD","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1384\/4833\/files\/a2943439348_10.jpg?v=1719858367"},{"product_id":"and-even-the-sheep-shall-dance-audio-cd-and-book-from-the-ciderhouse-rebellion","title":"And Even the Sheep Shall Dance - Audio CD and Book from The Ciderhouse Rebellion","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the spring of 2023, we were overcome by a concept for a new disc and decided to fit it in before we set off to Sweden to record with our Sami friend out in the wilds of the north. The disc is a reflection of the idea that as the world seems to be a tricky and dispiriting place in so many ways, one way of dealing with things is to listen and dance to upbeat music, a sort of ‘fiddling whilst Rome burns’ approach, a bit like what sparked the Jazz Age during the Great Depression of the 1920s and 30s. The disc is entitled ‘And Even The Sheep Shall Dance’ after what Adam claims is a passage from Ezekiel “and when the world is lost in strife and the end times appear to upon us, cider shall be drunk, the music shall rise and even the sheep shall dance”.
