Alfred's Teach Yourself To Play Accordion,
By Crazy Cat Lady (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alfred's Teach Yourself to Play Accordion (Paperback)
Coming into learning to play the accordion with a musical background along with 3 actual accordion lessons, I felt this book did not give enough practice music between learning new skills. The jump to using alternating bass was a bit abrupt and frightened me back to easier music. The one plus for this book is that it does introduce the accordion player to a wide variety of music available: polka, zydeco, cajun, irish, classical and blues. I will come back to this book eventually when my playing level gets to the point that I am not frustrated by it. I happily went back to the Palmer-Hughes books and am learning and playing some whacky children's songs along with some really nice sounding pieces...you have to play the "Injun Song!" on page 34 of Book One in the series - it will impress your friends and is lots of fun! I started Book Two this week - it's only been a month since I began my journey - and am having a great time even though my cats are still afraid of my accordion!
