NATIONAL SELF TEACHER
The National Self Teacher was published by the Chart Music Publishing House in 1919. The book consists of 18 pages of introduction to music, basic concertina instruction, musical scale exercises, and easy songs for beginners. Based on the age of this document, its instructions are limited to 76 and 102-key instruments. However, the book still provides a great primer to the chemnitzer concertina.
