You have to start somewhere
One of the main reasons that Kettle Bridge Concertinas was formed was to encourage new players to take up the concertina. Well, I am pleased to report that we currently have a very enthusiastic set of beginners who are starting to appreciate the joys of playing our favourite instrument.
Our learners have a great variety of previous musical experience ranging from accomplished musicians who want to try a new instrument to those who could not read music at all but fancy a new challenge. Our beginners groups cater for all levels of experience and ability, and teach all the necessary technical skills to get to grips with a concertina.
The sessions are always great fun and a good way to meet new people while developing a new skill. So if you fancy giving it a go, just visit our Contact Page and drop us an email. We would love to hear from you.
