Mel Biggs is a musician, performer and melodeon teacher based in Derbyshire, England. Renowned for her perceptive, patient and mindful manner in teaching groups and individuals, Mel is a leading light in the world of melodeon teaching; both on and off-line. Having been teaching since 2009, Mel has an ever expanding toolkit of techniques at her disposal which she adapts to every new teaching scenario.

 

You can expect a bespoke blend of learning-by-ear, call and response playing, analogies, visualisations and pattern recognition, tune deconstruction and notation in moderation.

 

Mel is a consummate performer, vocalist and accompanist wracking up a wealth of experience in trio Moirai with Jo Freya & Sarah Matthews, playing for various Morris & traditional dance sides, and as an actor-musician in the 2022-23 UK & Canada tour of Fisherman’s Friends: The Musical.
