Summary of This Method
Designed as a comprehensive and educational reference guide, this book is aimed at accordionists of all backgrounds who wish to better "read" their instrument and expand their playing palette. The method begins by laying solid foundations through precise diagrams that allow visualization of the right-hand keyboard layout, whether it is a button accordion or piano key accordion, followed by the left hand, taking into account the main configurations (Belgian or international system). It then offers in-depth work on scales, with fingering charts for major and harmonic minor scales, row by row, to establish reliable landmarks and acquire reflexes transferable to other keys. The book also stands out for a very clear presentation of essential chords, notably tetrads, and a selection of harmonic combinations particularly useful in accompaniment or improvisation situations. Finally, a specific chapter encourages developing the independence and expressiveness of the left hand by working on rhythmic aspects as well as melodic aspects through counterpoint. Audio recordings associated with the method allow you to check the accuracy of what you play and facilitate the assimilation of the scales, chords, and rhythms covered, for a safer and more musical learning experience.
