Music, Once Admitted To The Soul, Becomes A Sort Of Spirit & Never Dies!

Accordion has been one of the most important instrument in the world! People will think that these buttons are hard to understand, and there should be a secret recipe to be able to play Accordion!

I can assume right now, that this is completely wrong, all you need to know, is just the techniques in the Piano Accordion + some tricks aside of the basics steps In THE BASS NOTES!

Starting from this moment, I'm responsible of every step you take forward in your Accordion journey!

As you saw in my video, I've helped many students achieving their goals in music, and, in this class, I would love to share everything with you!

We made sure that this course has everything you need to take you from a beginner (even with zero music experience) and slowly take you to intermediate and finally become a professional.

In our first section, we'll start by getting an idea on how to play the right hand (Piano Accordion). We'll start by locating the notes on the piano accordion, understand how the keyboard works, and of course, learn some songs to add some fun & enjoy our lessons! I have also left a big brain test challenge at the end, to test your knowledges at the end of section before moving on to the next one!

Section 2- Basics Of Left Hand:

It's time to learn how to support our melody with the left hand notes! In this section, we'll learn how to play the bass row & understand how to navigate using the left hand's notes!

There are still some buttons in the accordion that we didn't discover them yet! The diminished row! Some of you might think that it's unuseful! BUT THIS IS COMPLETELY WRONG, if you will know how to put it correctly in the song, it will sound really good!
