Thanks, Alison for a good site - I'll have a proper explore soon. But - the best advice I could offer would be to LISTEN and most of all to FEEL the music. I have a neighbour here in France whose daughter has rows of cups & medals on the mantelpiece for her accordion playing, & technically her playing is impeccable. But what she plays is not music... It's no good just learning from books - get out & play with others, feel it - it will happen, it does come, it may take some time...
