On Sunday 3rd December 2006 Murray Grainger held a master class at The Music Room in front of a sell out audience. The whole event was filmed for the production and release of a new accordion tuition DVD!

Working with amateur accordionist Leslie Dolman, Murray Grainger focused on improving technique and helping accordionists to improve their playing. He started by discussing posture and how you should hold your accordion, invaluable advice with many people commenting that they had been searching for the information for years! He then explored varying aspects of Left-hand, Right-hand and bellows technique, with helpful tips and hints as they worked through 4 tunes. Filmed on the second floor of The Music Room’s new premises the audience had a chance to see how a modern DVD is produced. With four cameras and two camera men, the sound recorded in The Music Rooms recording Studio the afternoon was a fascinating experience for everyone.

Have you ever heard a tune played on stage but never been able to play it like that? Not sure how to develop your technique? Looking for some ideas to help improve your playing and increase your playing confidence? This accordion tuition DVD will feature advice on technique for the improving player, including bellows, tone production and articulation with lots of tunes and exercises to help you progress in your own time. If you have always been looking to develop your technique then this DVD is guaranteed to both inspire and stimulate you!

This exciting new accordion tuition DVD is due to be released at the end of January 2007 and orders are already being taken. A book to accompany the DVD will follow shortly afterwards making this package an essential accesory for all accordionists!
