Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
How to Play Button Accordion * Volume One with CD by Henry Doktorski is unique, as every other buttonmethod does not recognize that the buttonaccordion is a transposing instrument and all its music can be written in the key of C. There are buttonaccordions in almost every key including C, G, D, F & Bb. The onerow buttonaccordion is a transposing instrument, so a player only needs to learn the fingering & notes for the C major scale. In order to play in another key, you would need another instrument tuned to that desired key. This greatly simplifies learning the instrument and allows the student to make rapid progress. Note reading is also not necessary to learn how to play the buttonbox. Indeed some of the greatest buttonaccordionists only play by ear. Like great jazz performers, this in no way detracts from their ability to create exciting and beautiful music. Nonetheless, a method book needs some kind of music notation. This book uses the solfege method; assigning the syllables do, re, mi, fa, sol, la and ti to the seven notes of the major scale. In 1965 the syllables do, re, mi, fa, sol, la and ti were immortalized in the hit movie & musical The Sound of Music. However, modern music notation is also presented along with the solfege syllables for those students who want to learn it. How To Play Button Accordion * Volume One published by Santorella Publications will explain in detail how to play the onerow Italianstyle buttonaccordion. One row is perfectly suitable for playing most popular and folk melodies. Students who own two or threerow instruments still need to learn by playing one row. Although the left hand is not always used by buttonbox players, the left hand is taught in this method. It may be difficult to coordinate both hands together, but with patient, persistent practice, success will most assuredly come. Includes; Taps, Assembly, Reveille, First Call, Down in the Valley, When the Saints Go Marching In, Good Night Ladies, My Darling Clementine, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Alouette, London Bridge, This Old Man, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, Frere Jacque, Pop Goes the Weasel, Row, Row, Row Your Boat, On Top of Old Smoky, Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes, Camptown Races, Come to the Sea (Vieni Sul Mar), Du, Du Liegst Mir Im Herzen, Las Chiapanecas, Minuet No. 1 and Minuet No. 2
