Description
Since the folk revival, the diatonic accordion (squeezebox, diatonic concertina) has also become more and more popular here. It is back to playing the accordion, and so there is a great need for a good school: “Diatonic Accordion – Volume 1”. Yann Dour, who has an outstanding name and reputation as an excellent teacher in Brittany, has incorporated his experience from hundreds of courses into a three-volume textbook, the first volume of which Oliver Stoffregen, a renowned expert on this instrument, has translated into German for us.
Who is “Diatonic Accordion – Volume 1” intended for?
The textbook is aimed at beginners who want to learn a basic technique without getting lost in theoretical questions. The focus is on the progression of playing technique in order to guarantee an easy start and a sense of achievement. The second volume is devoted specifically to melody. The tablatures apply to all keys, which makes the book particularly flexible.
The CD included with the book “Diatonic Accordion – Volume 1” is particularly helpful because it contains all the exercises and pieces used in the respective learning tempo. The joy of music and the instrument is always at the forefront of this school!
Yann Dour, born in 1953, lives in Guillac (Brittany) and has been working as a musician and teacher of the diatonic accordion since 1981. He specializes in Breton and Cajun music, but his repertoire is all-encompassing, which is reflected in the diverse publications of his publishing house “Caruhel”.
