Mel Biggs - Melodeon Teacher
Mel Biggs is a folk musician, performer and melodeon teacher based in Derbyshire, England. Renowned the world over for her perceptive, patient and mindful manner in teaching groups and individuals, Mel is a leading light in the world of melodeon teaching; both on and off-line.
Having been teaching since 2009, Mel has an ever expanding toolkit of techniques at her disposal which she adapts to every new teaching scenario. You can expect a bespoke blend of learning-by-ear, call and response playing, analogies, visualisations and pattern recognition, tune deconstruction and notation in moderation.
If you wish to receive advice or guidance with your melodeon/diatonic accordion playing then I'd love to hear from you! Please get in touch and we can discuss a plan to move you forward in your learning.
