- Riccardo Tesi’s epic 7-part piece Pomodhoro
- How to play in 7/8
- How to play cross-rhythms across the left and right hands
- How to accurately control syncopated grooves
- Develop mindful techniques for developing better feel & sound quality
- Build confidence playing with right and left hand autonomy
Suitable for 2, 2.5 and 3 row DG instruments.
Sheet music and handouts are provided to accompany the classes, but there is a heavy emphasis on learning and playing by ear.
Please note that this is an archived series of recordings from classes which ran live May-Jun 2023. They have been made available here for you to revisit the content on demand in your own time.
There is no live interaction or contact time with Mel during this recorded series. For access to live Zoom classes, Q&A and email support from Mel, sign up to the current live block.

How it works
IMPORTANT: Make sure to tick the box at checkout to receive emails from me when you enrol on this block of classes.
This triggers an automated email directing you to ‘The Melodeon Zone’ – your personal learning space here on my website.
This is where class recordings, handouts and any other relevant materials will be posted after each live class.
You can access The Zone 24/7, 365 days a year from wherever you are in the world – as long as you have internet access!
FAQs
Are the blocks of classes progressive?
No – previous participation is not required in order to sign up to a current block. Blocks are standalone.
Each block revolves around a core tune which, once taught, becomes a template for exploring techniques, rhythm, exercises etc.
Each ability level focuses on the different aspects of playing melodeon at an appropriate level of challenge suitable for each group.
How long will I have access to ‘The Melodeon Zone’ for?
You have lifetime access to the materials relevant to the block(s) you purchase via your user account.
