Tutorial on how to get started with the accordion

Accordion beginner's tutorial is as follows:

1. Choose an instrument. It is recommended to buy a 48 bass or 60 bass as a start. For one thing, beginners really don't need an instrument that is too versatile in performance, and for another, a 120-bass instrument is relatively expensive and not very cost-effective for most beginners (especially those who aren't going to be practicing for a long period of time).

2. Week 1: Pull the bellows. Press on the exhaust key (that's the one that's independent of the other keys), forty times a day. Points: adjust the sitting position, only sit in the front third of the chair, the piano mainly on the left leg (recommended to put a pad on the left leg lest the wind box pinch red) the shape of the wind box to keep the shape of the fan in and out.

Meditates one to four out, five to eight back, do the same speed in and out, and try to pull the bellows to the most open (that is, the left hand as straight as possible). This step is very important. Many people who practice direct fingering without practicing the bellows have no time to take care of the bellows, and start to go back to the bellows with their left hand while their right hand is holding down a note, resulting in one note sounding like two, and the tune sounding like it's out of breath.

So try to establish the good habit of changing the bellows rhythmically according to the number of bars. At the same time, gently place your right hand on the keyboard and make a hand shape, visualizing an egg in your hand, without folding your fingers. Holding this position for forty round trips is still tiring and takes some getting used to. The left hand does not matter. Tighten the belt a bit to be able to use the force to pull open the wind box can be.

3. The second week: the right hand keys with the left hand to pull the bellows. 12345 out, 54321 into. It's the first time you'll be able to recognize the score. Points: Keep your hand in shape when you press the keys. Do not fold your fingers. Fingers do not leave the keyboard to hit the keys, accordion is not a piano, press even heavier volume will not get bigger, will only damage the keyboard, the volume is controlled by the bellows.

Train your initial sense of rhythm. Try to keep the timing of each note consistent. Leave the left hand alone. It's not there yet. Just don't press the exhaust button with your left hand when you press the right hand button. Please use simple music. Figure out the key sign, beat number, time line, time line, dots, repetition, rests, lines, high notes and low notes.

4. Week 3: The first piece for the right hand. Rowing a boat. Spanish folk song. Simply this: 53 3/ 42 2 / 12 34 / 55 5/ 53 3/ 42 2/ 13 55 / 1 0/22 22/ 23 4/ 33 33/ 34 5/ 53 3/ 42 2/ 13 55 / 1 0/ Please practice the right hand only. The main points are the same as above. The goal to be achieved is to press the keys correctly, with the bellows two bars out and two bars in. And to be able to memorize the score in a week without looking up from the keyboard. We recommend practicing 20 times a day.

5. Week 4: First piece of music for the left hand. Row the boat left hand. Simply put, it is 1 big big 4 big big 1 big big 5 big 1 big big 4 big 1 big 1 big 5 big 5 big 5 big 1 big 1 big 1 big 1 big 1 big 4 big 1 big 1 big 1 big big big, need to spend 2-3 days practicing only the left hand.

The rest of the time is used to work with both hands. Simply say the composition of the left hand bass. Please start practicing from the simplest bass + major triad. It is also the left hand that rows the boat. Points to note: When you press the bass with your left hand, press full time, and when you press a chord, press it briefly as if you were touching the tip of a needle (but make sure that the bass is pressed all the way down to make a full sound). This will make it seem more rhythmic. Again, make sure the bellows are two hours out and two hours in.

If the left hand has great difficulty in finding the keys, then it is advisable to practice in front of a large mirror where you can see your left hand. But it is not recommended to use this method all the time, at most once when practicing scales or the first polyphony (that is, when the left hand runs all over the world looking for the bass). Because after all, the mirror is reversed, and most of the time there is no mirror for you to find the keyboard, the left hand relies on feeling.

At first, you can see which key your right hand corresponds to when your left hand presses that key (or vice versa, which key your left hand corresponds to when your right hand presses a certain key), and then everything will be much better when you get good at it. If you're not familiar with any of the hands, slow down and practice them individually. Then gradually increase the speed.

6. In the following weeks: Please practice music of similar difficulty (no movement in the right hand, 145 in the left). For example, lullabies (12332113212) and the like. Point: This type of practice please ensure that at least one week to practice the right hand, one week to practice the left hand and with the rhythm. Make sure that you are practicing with the same frequency in and out of the bellows, and don't suddenly reverse the bellows in the middle of a note. At the end of these two weeks, please try to memorize the score and play without looking at the keyboard.

7. Around week 9: After practicing a few of these beginner pieces, you can start practicing the Cherny Etudes. Please start with the first one and work your way up to about the 5th one. Because the first five pieces are basically easy for the right hand, they do not involve finger-piercing or finger-spanning techniques.

Highlights: The first Chernay has a note that requires the right hand to span an octave. For adults, it's recommended that you try to spread your palm when crossing octaves, and touch the high notes with your pinky while placing your thumb on the low notes. It is not recommended to move around the keyboard with curled palms. At the same time, from the second song onwards, there will be some elementary changes in the left hand (such as triangular fingering - four, three, two, three, the concept of triangular fingering on their own Baidu, accordion bar should have relevant content), slowly adapt to it.
