Play Accordion - Volume 1 Book and Cd

Play Accordion Volume 1 Book and CD  📚📀

A Wonderful Accordion Method for Beginners 

Accordion has been played and taught in Germany for a long time. In recent years it has been used increasingly in music genres which no longer fit the typical folk music cliches of the instrument: The Yiddish klezmer music conquered Europe by storm, Tango and Musette experienced a revival, many rock bands initiate the sentimental sound of the accordion.

This book is both suited for playing the named musical genres and also the first volume of the successful accordion school by Peter Michael Haas.Peter Michael Haas, pianist and keyboardist in various Rock, Fusion and Jazz bands, discovered his love for the accordion and Tango (among others) with a little help by the music of Astor Piazzolla. 

The first volume of Play Accordion is divided into four chapters, containing many exercises that can also be found on the accompanying Cd, including Play-along tracks.

In Chapter 1, the bases of learning the accordion will be presented (holding the instrument, sound registers and more) and the different playing techniques (legato, staccato, dynamics) can be practiced in simple first pieces in C major.

From Chapter 2 to Chapter 4, more and more keys are added, so that the student can play pieces in major and minor keys when finishing this book. Find out more about the instrument (sound registers, the inner life and the history of the accordion) and musical forms (Yiddish songs, Argentine tango, Chansons, Musette). 

This book has page references to the respective pieces in each chapter, which complete the extensive learning matter of this first volume and allow each student either with a teacher or through self-study to learn the accordion. 180 pages.
