Get started with Mel Bay
4 Jan 2010
If you’ve been lucky enough to get a new instrument for Christmas, and are wondering what to do about tuition books and DVDs, or if you’re a bit rusty and are just keen to get some more practise in, then Mel Bay could be a great place to start!
As one of a number of companies out there offering help to new and developing musicians alike, Mel Bay is a driving force in music education and instruction. They offer a full range of music books, CDs, DVDs, Deluxe Pocketbooks and Manuscript for the keen musician! With their products featuring artists such as Tommy Emmanuel, Juan Martin, Martin Simpson, Stephane Grappelli, Rodney Branigan, Oscar Herrero, Paco De Lucia & Jorge Cardosa, Mel Bay offers introductory, intermediate and professional levels of tuition and instruction.
Those of you out there who are learning the guitar are probably more than aware of the world famous “Modern Guitar Method”. For all you novices, this has been in print since 1947, and has sold over 20 million copies and really has taught the world how to play guitar.
As well as catering for the budding guitarists amongst us, the publisher caters for a huge and diverse selection of instruments and musical styles. From the cajon to the ukulele, from the tabla to the bodhran, from the banjo to the sitar, from the jaws harp to the dobro - if you play it, its quite likely that there’s a tuition book available to help you on your way.
So whether you’ve only just unwrapped your new instrument, or if you’ve been playing for years and want some new hints and tips, Mel Bay are able to offer something for everyone.
And for one lucky bulletin reader, Mel Bay is offering a very generous prize of £100 worth of tuition books, DVDs and sheet music. 2 runners up will also receive £50 to spend on the same range of fantastic goodies! To enter see the main bulletin page for more details. Closing date is 13 January 2010.
