Anglo Concertina from Beginner to Master includes 72 tunes for the C/G 30-button Anglo concertina and uses a simple tablature system along with standard musical notation and multiple exercises to teach simple tunes in the home keys all the way up to complex classical arrangements. It also teaches tunes in different keys and different modes plus many types of ornamentation and styles of accompaniment. Many of the tunes are from early 19th century concertina tutors and others are from historical 18th and 19th century tune books and manuscripts. In addition to several hymns, two classical Baroque pieces by Telemann and Westhoff are also notated and discussed. The book is divided into chapters with each chapter being based around a different theme or style of concertina playing. Each of these chapters gets gradually more complex as it progresses and each chapter, overall, is more complex than the one that proceeds it. Each tune has been assigned an ability level from one to seven- taking you through from beginner to master. Each selection has a Button Map showing which buttons are needed to play the tune, and has the same easy-to-use tablature system found in other Rollston Press concertina books. And this book comes with video instruction! Every tune also has a smartphone-scannable QR code that links to a video of Cohen showing how the tune is played. Working through all these tunes will not be easy, but thanks to the diligent teaching of master player Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne it will quickly develop and elevate your playing skills.
