In the old Russian times, in all villages in the evenings one could hear very melodic modulations extracted from the accordion, or in a simple way, the accordion. All the guys who knew how to play them were considered enviable suitors and enjoyed the love of girls. Later, the desire to play the harmonica swept the whole world, and this instrument began to enjoy immense popularity among both adults and young generations. So how do you learn to play the accordion?
Instructions
Step 1
First, find the right tool. Two-row chrome accordions, in other words, lame ones, are best suited. They consist of two keyboards: the left - with keys necessary for accompaniment - bass or squeak, the right - with buttons that highlight the melody.
Step 2
The bellows should be placed on the left foot, and the bar should rest on the right thigh. Belts are put on arbitrarily: either two at once, or only one. The accordion itself is either pressed to the body, or is at a short distance. The main thing is freedom of movement. Check belt tension. Ideally, they should provide an opportunity to put the accordion on your knee. If you play while standing, then the instrument should hang on your shoulders so that it is comfortable for you to play it.
Step 3
Place your hands correctly. The thumb of the right hand should be behind the neck, the lower part of the palm should be slightly away from the instrument. The left hand is passed through the belt from the opposite side, helps to move the fur and presses the keys with your fingers.
Step 4
Get to know the left keyboard. It has a huge number of buttons, each of which has its own purpose. In the first two, there is an alternation of bass and chord. Third, only bass. Practice playing simple tunes. To get started, simply run your fingers over the buttons and move the fur to get a better feel for the instrument. Then you can move on to learning ditties, since they have the lightest melody.
Step 5
At the very beginning of the training, look at the instrument while playing. To better remember the sequence of pressing the buttons, constant supervision is required. Later, everything will happen automatically and you don't have to watch. After mastering simple melodies, you can move on to more complex performances. To do this, learn to play with both hands at once, so that not only the melody or bass stand out separately, but all together. Then move on to the study of musical notation and, directly, to the performance of complex melodies and songs.
