Tim Edey managed to squeeze a day into his schedule of touring and recording to come to The Music Room!
Here at The Music Room in Cleckheaton we filmed a melodeon masterclass given by the renowned Musician Tim Edey.
Tim worked with pupil, Paul Young, covering every aspect of playing Irish music on the D/G from posture through chord ideas to right hand ornamentation, playing in more keys than you thought possible and how to put it all together. The DVD also include the Tim Edey five minute workout, a daily routine guaranteed to improve your playing!
The DVD is aimed at musicians already playing the D/G melodeon but covers how to play Irish repertoire. If you have been looking to improve your playing in an Irish style then this DVD is guaranteed to both inspire and stimulate!
