The Prep Accordion Course contains all the information included in the Palmer-Hughes Accordion Course but is specifically designed for the younger student.
A comprehensive method written especially for serious students learning the accordion without access to formal music lessons. Seasoned music educator and performer Neil Griffin guides the student through music reading fundamentals, correct posture and hand position, use of the bellows, bass buttons, keyboard, and more. Music theory concepts are introduced as required by the generous selection of carefully graded exercises and pieces. Although this book covers concepts that apply to the 120-bass accordion, it only uses 54 buttons (covering 9 rows in keys). Illustrated with diagrams and photographs.
This set of eleven up-beat songs makes a great supplement to the Palmer-Hughes Accordion Course, Book 2, with the compositions arranged in order of difficulty and designed to reinforce the student's technical mastery of the instrument.
This comprehensive method of music instruction enables the beginner to progress to an advanced stage of technical skill. "Fascination" and "Let's Dance the Polka" are Federation Festivals 2016-2020 selections.
