Summary of This Method
This virtuosity method, specially designed for accordionists, offers a series of exercises with increasing levels of difficulty. The goal is clear: to build a reliable Technique and develop independence of both hands, absolutely necessary to gain ease, precision, and control over the instrument. Thanks to a structured progression, the student strengthens their automatisms and consolidates the foundations that allow them to confidently approach a more demanding repertoire.
The work on evenness of notes occupies a central place. The method emphasizes the necessity to start very slowly in order to stabilize rhythmic accuracy, regularity, and clarity of articulation before gradually increasing speed. The metronome tempo markings, placed at the beginning of each exercise, serve as benchmarks to measure progress and achieve clean execution without unnecessary tension. In case of difficulty, the recommended approach is pragmatic: practice hands separately to clarify movements, then combine both hands when the mechanics become natural.
Beyond pure technique, this method reminds that interpretation is an integral part of performance. Dynamics must be rigorously observed to achieve the desired effect and give musical expression to each exercise. The varied style "recreations" complete the journey: they allow the application of acquired skills in different contexts, refine expression, and transform technical work into genuine musical play. Conscientious practice gradually brings better self-mastery on the accordion, an essential characteristic of virtuosos.

Questions frequently asked
Does this accordion method work on hand independence?
The progression of exercises is explicitly designed to develop the independence of both hands, which is necessary for controlling the accordion.
How to use the metronome with the Ferrero M. method?
Each exercise includes a metronome tempo indication. The practice is planned at a very slow speed initially, then the tempo gradually increases once regularity is stabilized.
Can the exercises be studied hands separately?
In case of difficulty, studying hands separately is recommended in order to clarify the movements. The two hands can then be combined once the mechanics become natural. This approach concerns technical exercises of increasing difficulty.
Does the method address dynamics on the accordion?
Dynamics must be observed rigorously to produce the musical effect indicated in the exercises.
Is the method in French and does it include pieces?
The work is written in French and intended for the accordion. “Récréations” of different styles complement the technical exercises in order to apply the work on note evenness within a musical context.
