[@lodewickandreas9661]

hi Daren, Thanks for the great help! I would very appreciate if you could be so nice to continue to make some tutorials for advanced level, when you have time. After watching the beginners tutorials I personal would like to see how to switch the finger position and how to breath in komplexer melody etc. Thanks again!

[@fluffythedragonslayer]

I really enjoyed this, thank you I learned a lot...

[@MelodicaWorld]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@zainarevilla1683]

[@MelodicaWorld]

My pleasure!

[@locadeva]

These videos are super helpful and clear that bring me so much joy on my melodion :) I would love to be able to play some Irish music like you do too! It would be great if there are other tutorials to futher my melodion journey! Thanks a million!!!

[@MelodicaWorld]

So good to hear they've been useful!

[@katzz0078]

Hey video Idea try to make a double keyboard Melodica kind of like an organ

[@ArtTuned]

Waiting eagerly for next set of lessons 🤩

[@MelodicaWorld]

There’s a book coming very soon :-)

[@adonnisperalta]

Great lesson, I really appreciate the resources in the description. I have a question though, how do we know when we will need to shift our hand position and to where. Keep up the great videos!

[@MelodicaWorld]

It's at 3:36. I drew a little green arrow underneath the notes. You shift the whole hand up by 3 notes, so the thumb will be over F, and the 3rd finger over A. Does that help?

[@jimbrownza]

Very nice series, thank you. Well structured and professionally presented. Nice to hear a UK English accent for a change ;)

[@MelodicaWorld]

Thanks Jim!

[@TheMrJackzilla]

I heard your 3d printed melódica 5 yeard ago... Please, talk more about that project! And about the first music that you play

[@profdjellelhadj8827]

Merci beaucoup

[@randomanju]

Thanks for your videos, I recently got a melodica and I'm excited to play it more! Just wondering, will you be making a tutorial or tips on cleaning and maintenance on the instrument in the future?

[@MelodicaWorld]

I do hope to at some point. THere's a good thread here melodicaworld.com/forums/topic/give-your-melodica-a-bath/

[@memetmuzafferoglu]

I finally finished it and it's literally taught me much than 2 years of school education. Thank you for that :). So what should i do next now? Will you make a different tutorials for Intermediates?

[@MelodicaWorld]

Great to hear you’ve got this far! I’m currently working on a tutorial book, I’ll update the links when it’s ready :-)

[@rishabchaurasia229]

Thankyou sir ... PLEASE provide some further tutorials.

[@MelodicaWorld]

I’ve nearly finished a tutorial book, I’ll post the link in the description once it’s ready

[@alan_labrunee]

Wawww me encantooo que hermosooo !!! I love that melody, thanks to practicing it

[@MelodicaWorld]

Glad you like it!

[@sureshnair1584]

Thank you for these wonderful lesson. I went thru all of them and i am able to play music smoothly in melodica (with practice) as per your course. What is the next step to learn more intermediate/advance level. There are hardly any teachers and lessons on melodica on an intermediate level. Appreciate your response. :) Thanks for all that you did.

[@MelodicaWorld]

Well done for getting to the end Suresh! I'm working on more materials now. If you join the melodicaworld facebook page or check melodicaworld.com, I'll announce when its ready :-)

[@zeinabbakri4980]

Waiting for more, Sir.

[@MelodicaWorld]

I’ve been making a book tutorial, very nearly ready!

[@PaulsonJeanty]

*Sub! Thanks! Can you make a video on how to keep melodica tuned for a long time?*

[@MelodicaWorld]

Thanks for watching! To keep your melodica in tune for longer, you could buy a higher end model and try just playing quietly. Doesn't sound like much fun though!

[@杨之-u2x]

Thanks for teaching again,where can I find more melody?I mean countryside style or classical one.

[@MelodicaWorld]

Look for flute music and violin music, with should work on melodica

[@Tearr]

Learning to play piano might pickup a melodica and learn it

[@MelodicaWorld]

I find it helps my piano playing

[@daviddickey370]

So did you happen to notice that a melodica player has been nominated for an album of the year grammy!? Yes, I'm talking about Jacob Collier (who does a couple more instruments than melodica, tbh . . . like almost all of them -- still, the melodica is definitely highlighted in quite a few videos/recordings, e.g. Georgia on My Mind, the grammy-winning Flintstones, and the just-released Christmas Song). It would be interesting to hear your take on the melodica solos he features on some of his videos/recordings. Indeed, I think it would be quite worthwhile to hear about how different composers/groups have integrated melodica into their compositions, because they felt it served an expressive purpose (not just because it's fun, and easier to carry than a keyboard). Are there classical composers writing for the instrument? Jazz or pop musicians?

[@MelodicaWorld]

I'm a massive fan of Jacob Collier, amazing all round creative genius. There's also Jon Batiste, who plays jazz. And I think Steve Reich was the first (and last?) 'classical' composer to write for it in the 1960s

[@lolwhatever7307]

Thanks for an amazing series. I have a question, maybe more advanced one. How should i move my hand while playing full keyboard scales or arpegios? Sadly i dont have experience with classical piano, so i have no idea about hand technic

[@MelodicaWorld]

Good question. Work on making your thumb flexible and independent of the other fingers, this really helps. If you need more detailed help, ask on the forum www.melodicaworld.com

[@James-en1ob]

Sorry to bother you on your melodica making but I have a question, when will you make a tutorial on how to tune a melodica?

[@MelodicaWorld]

I hope to one day...

[@James-en1ob]

I wonder why he's no longer posting videos regularly🤔

[@MelodicaWorld]

I'm making a wooden mega melodica, very nearly finished, also filming, so it will be the next vid!

[@katzz0078]

Hey are you ok you've been gone for a while?

[@MelodicaWorld]

Hey, thanks for asking! I'm well, I've been making a new instrument, I'll be posting a new video about it soon :-)

[@katzz0078]

@@MelodicaWorld do you have an instagram or twitter I can follow on to see what the instrument is?
