  • English Concertina

    ENGLISH CONCERTINA

    concertinaThe group has been working on an increasingly varied repertoire now consisting of around 100 pieces ranging from Swing Low Sweet Chariot to Nellie The Elephant including many folk songs and Christmas Carols. Most of our pieces involve part playing and we tend to work from printed music
     
    Above all we aim to enjoy playing our music together and we have previously played for senior clubs, care homes and carried out some charity fund raising. We plan to hold further such events. Occasionally we have joint sessions with one of the U3A Recorder Groups and these have been most enjoyable. It’s really surprising how very well up to 16 instruments sound when played together.
    Our membership has now increased to 6 and we are determined to continue to develop our experience with the English Concertina but we would be delighted to consider anyone who is interested in learning to play the instrument. It would be better if you can already read music and it would also help to have some experience of playing another instrument but these are not necessarily prerequisites. We will be pleased to give advice and guidance to anyone interested whatever their experience.  As we are a joint group we are pleased to be able to consider members joining from Sevenoaks or Knole U3As.  Do contact me if you would like to know more about our group.

    Two weekly by arrangement on Mondays 10.30 - 12.30
