The accordion is one of the most popular instruments among the people, often considered folk. It is difficult to find a village in which the holidays are held without the participation of an accordion player - the sounds of the accordion create a friendly and sociable atmosphere, entertain guests, and are also an excellent accompaniment for songs and dances. In this article we will tell you how to learn to play the accordion and where to start learning.
Instructions
Step 1
Having purchased an accordion, work out the correct setting of the body with the instrument. Put on the accordion by the shoulder straps and straighten the body without bending forward or backward. The bottom of the accordion should rest on your knees, and the back of the accordion should touch your chest.
Step 2
Make sure that when you put on the accordion, you do not have any difficulty moving the bellows apart, and nothing hinders their movement. Move the forearm of the right hand slightly to the side and relax the hand.
Step 3
Touch the accordion buttons with the pads of your relaxed fingers. Place your left hand between the back and the accordion strap, so that the strap touches the top of the left hand.
Step 4
The sound production in the accordion depends on the movement of the bellows and the pressing of buttons that regulate the tone and pitch of the sound. By pressing several buttons at once, you can hear a whole set of sounds at the same time. By bringing and spreading the accordion fur to the sides, you create an air stream that passes through the sound plate, vibrating from the action of the air and creating sound waves of the desired height.
Step 5
Press the buttons calmly and smoothly. The volume and richness of your playing depends not on how hard you press the buttons, but on how much you push and pull the accordion bellows.
Step 6
In order for the sound when playing to turn out beautiful, you need to practice how to properly breed and reduce the furs. Learn how the different movements of the bellows affect the type and dynamics of sound. If you move the bellows quickly with the push of a button, the sound will be powerful.
Step 7
If the bellows are moved slowly, the sound will be weaker. If you speed up by moving the 'Mech slowly, the sound will increase, and if you slow down, the sound will fade. Learn to move the accordion fur in and out evenly and smoothly to ensure an even and smooth sound.
