Concertina progressions is a course of Irish music concertina lessons aimed at the player who already knows the basics and foundations of concertina playing but who wants to progress with their ornamentation, repertoire and chording skills. The course is taught by Liam O’Brien and consists of thirteen lessons; each lesson features a new tune. Most of the tunes taught have links to Liam’s hometown of Milltown Malbay, Co. Clare, which is where uilleann piper Willie Clancy also came from and is the location of one of Ireland’s largest traditional music festivals. The repertoire of Willie Clancy features throughout the course.

In the first three lessons, Liam focuses mainly on ornamentation - cuts, grace notes, and triplets. In lessons four and nine Liam discusses and demonstrates the links between concertina chording and the drones and regulators of the pipes. Although the lessons are aimed at an intermediate level of playing, the more advanced player can pick up advanced techniques that can be in heard Part one of each lesson, namely chords, ornamentation, variation, and speed.

By the end of the course, you will have a repertoire of thirteen tunes that sit well on the concertina, a better understanding of ornamentation and chords, and a deeper understanding of the Irish music tradition. Sign up today for a 14-day free trial.
