The one-row button-accordion is a transposing instrument, so a player only needs to learn the fingering & notes for the C major scale. In order to play in another key, you would need another instrument tuned to that desired key. This greatly simplifies learning the instrument and allows the student to make rapid progress. Note reading is also not necessary to learn how to play the button-box. Indeed some of the greatest button-accordionists only play by ear. Like great jazz performers, this in no way detracts from their ability to create exciting and beautiful music. Nonetheless, a method book needs some kind of music notation. This book uses the solfege method; assigning the syllables do, re, mi, fa, sol, la and ti to the seven notes of the major scale. In 1965 the syllables do, re, mi, fa, sol, la and ti were immortalized in the hit movie & musical The Sound of Music. However, modern music notation is also presented along with the solfege syllables for those students who want to learn it. How To Play Button Accordion * Volume One published by Santorella Publications will explain in detail how to play the one-row Italian- style button-accordion. One row is perfectly suitable for playing most popular and folk melodies. Students who own two or three-row instruments still need to learn by playing one row. Although the left hand is not always used by button-box players, the left hand is taught in this method. It may be difficult to coordinate both hands together, but with patient, persistent practice, success will most assuredly come. Includes; Taps, Assembly, Reveille, First Call, Down in the Valley, When the Saints Go Marching In, Good Night Ladies, My Darling Clementine, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Alouette, London Bridge, This Old Man, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, Frere Jacque, Pop Goes the Weasel, Row, Row, Row Your Boat, On Top of Old Smoky, Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes, Camptown Races, Come to the Sea (Vieni Sul Mar), Du, Du Liegst Mir Im Herzen, Las Chiapanecas, Minuet No. 1 and Minuet No. 2 This is a good book - it teaches you how to read music for the button accordion. Since everything is in the key of C, you can, after learning this, go out and buy other music in the key of C and play whatever type of music you prefer. (Search fake books in key of c) The songs given here are all simple traditional folk and childrens songs. The familiarity of these songs makes them easy to learn. The cd helps too. The book also shows how to incorporate the bass/chord button playing in with the melody(treble). This is harder to do than you would think. But this book gives you lots of practice, and if you are not sure how it should sound with the bass rhythm added, this is where the cd really comes in handy. Listen and then practice - slowly it does come to you.Ive played several other instruments on an amateur level (piano, tin whistle, harmonica) and this book is very useful for getting a quick start on the button accordion. Just a few notes: one reviewer mentioned the cd is in the key of G. My accordion is a one row in the key of G and it is not the same as the recording - not sure what key the recording is in. But it doesnt matter - it just gives you the example of how the songs sound with the bass, chords. Then you try it on yours, whatever the key. This book can be used with any key of accordion - the music is read the same way regardless. The music is always written in the key of C regardless of the key of your accordion. Also, regarding the bass buttons, the book is written for an accordion with 8 bass buttons. Mine has four, but I can still play most of the bass parts (except for the part where the bass picks up the melody) with some modifications. It still gives me a good idea of how to use the bass for my accordion. Overall - great book, easy to understand and use. It gives you a quick start on button accordion.

  • The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a New Look at Musical Instrument Classification
    The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a new look at musical instrument classification by Roderic C. Knight, Professor of Ethnomusicology Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, © 2015, Rev. 2017 Introduction The year 2015 marks the beginning of the second century for Hornbostel-Sachs, the venerable classification system for musical instruments, created by Erich M. von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs as Systematik der Musikinstrumente in 1914. In addition to pursuing their own interest in the subject, the authors were answering a need for museum scientists and musicologists to accurately identify musical instruments that were being brought to museums from around the globe. As a guiding principle for their classification, they focused on the mechanism by which an instrument sets the air in motion. The idea was not new. The Indian sage Bharata, working nearly 2000 years earlier, in compiling the knowledge of his era on dance, drama and music in the treatise Natyashastra, (ca. 200 C.E.) grouped musical instruments into four great classes, or vadya, based on this very idea: sushira, instruments you blow into; tata, instruments with strings to set the air in motion; avanaddha, instruments with membranes (i.e. drums), and ghana, instruments, usually of metal, that you strike. (This itemization and Bharata’s further discussion of the instruments is in Chapter 28 of the Natyashastra, first translated into English in 1961 by Manomohan Ghosh (Calcutta: The Asiatic Society, v.2). The immediate predecessor of the Systematik was a catalog for a newly-acquired collection at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels. The collection included a large number of instruments from India, and the curator, Victor-Charles Mahillon, familiar with the Indian four-part system, decided to apply it in preparing his catalog, published in 1880 (this is best documented by Nazir Jairazbhoy in Selected Reports in Ethnomusicology – see 1990 in the timeline below).

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper is concerned primarily with an educational approach to the accordion sound generation mechanisms. Accordions are made to sound by buzzing a thin steel tongue, which is attached to one side of a metal plate containing an aperture through which the reed tongue can actually pass. The accordion utilises the free reed principle, is hand-held and is powered by bellows. The aim of this work is to present the pedagogical steps that focus on the knowledge of free reed behaviour and the pressure forces that excite the reed vibration. INTRODUCTION The term Accordion is the proper generic term for all members of a complex family of free-reed aerophones. The accordion consists of a series of air-actuated free reeds tuned to notes of a musical scale and controlled by means of a keyboard. The family is divided into two preliminary halves: “Diatonic” accordions, that play different pitches when bellows are expanded or compressed and “Chromatic” accordions, that sound the same pitch in both bellows directions.

  • The Taranta–Dance Ofthesacredspider
    Annunziata Dellisanti THE TARANTA–DANCE OFTHESACREDSPIDER TARANTISM Tarantism is a widespread historical-religious phenomenon (‘rural’ according to De Martino) in Spain, Campania, Sardinia, Calabria and Puglia. It’s different forms shared an identical curative aim and by around the middle of the 19th century it had already begun to decline. Ever since the Middle Ages it had been thought that the victim of the bite of the tarantula (a large, non- poisonous spider) would be afflicted by an ailment with symptoms similar to those of epilepsy or hysteria. This ‘bite’ was also described as a mental disorder usually appearing at puberty, at the time of the summer solstice, and caused by the repression of physical desire, depression or unrequited love. In order to be freed from this illness, a particular ritual which included dance, music and the use of certain colours was performed. RITUAL DANCING The first written account of music as an antidote to the bite of the tarantula was given by the Jesuit scientist, Athanasius Kircher, who was also the first to notate the music and rhythm in his book Antidotum Tarantulæ in the 16th century. Among the instruments involved and used, the frame drum plays an important role together with the violin, the guitar or chitarra battente, a ten-string guitar used percussively, and the button accordion or organetto. This form of exorcism consisted in a ritual carried out in the home of the sick person and a religious ritual in the Church of San Paolo (Saint Paolo in Galatina (Lecce)) during the celebrations of the Saints Peter and Paul on the 28th June each year.

Parlak, at its most basic, consists of a pronounced high frequency boost and a pattern of harmonic distortion characteristics, and is often described by studio musicians and engi- neers in Turkey as an exaggeration of the perceived brightness of the majority of Anatolian folk instruments.2 Büyük ses, which in basic terms connotes a high density of heterogeneous musical parts, in contrast to parlak has no rela- tion to any known longstanding Anatolian musical performing traditions or timbral aesthetics, and is a recent development in Istanbul-produced record- ings.

  • Introducing the Harmonica Box Concertina
    Introducing The Harmonica, Button Box and Anglo Concertina The harmonica, the Anglo concertina and the button accordion are three instruments that operate on a similar blow/draw or push/pull principle. This means, in theory at least, that if you can get your mind around the way one of them works then moving on to another will be familiar, even relatively painless. So if you can rattle out a tune on the mouth organ you should at least have an idea how the concertina or button accordion works. A full octave of musical tones or steps contains 12 notes, 13 if you count the next octave note. (To get an octave note just means doubling, or halving, the frequency, such as by halving the length of a guitar string, or causing a reed to vibrate half, or twice, as fast). A scale containing all those 12 notes is called a chromatic scale. Most basic songs and tunes however only need a select 8 of these tones, the familiar ‘doh, re, me, fa, so, la, ti, doh’ thing, that’s 7 only notes, or 8 if you count the second ‘doh’. This is called a diatonic scale. The harmonica, Anglo concertina and button accordion are diatonic free reed instruments, in general they come with just the basic 7 notes that you will need to play most tunes, in one set key or starting point. And they make those notes when air is blown over little metal reeds that sit snugly in a frame. Each button, or hole on a harmonica, has two reeds and makes two different sounds, one when the bellows are pushed together, or you blow into a harmonica, another when the bellows are pulled apart, or you draw air in.

Mariano was born in Brusino di Cavedine (in the South Tirol region, which belonged to Austria at that time) in 1846. He was just 20 years old when he left his home region and came down to Italy to seek his fortune. He found a job in Genoa as a stoker miner working at the harbour, which was extended in those years. He was injured by a mine explosion, which made him unable to work and hobble. He was then forced to sadly go back to his home region. Fortunately he always kept his Austrian old and primitive diatonic accordion "organetto", which he could skilfully play. His masterful performances in the various courtyards and inns he found while going back home enabled him to scrape together a little money for some food and a bed to sleep overnight.

  • Pilgrimage to Accordionland by Fabio G
    Pilgrimage to Accordionland By Fabio G. Giotta Italy shares the musical traditions of the accordion with all of Europe, especially France, Germany, Poland, and Scandinavia, but it was Giuseppe Verdi that recognized it as a “proper” instrument and recommended its induction to conservatories of music. No matter your perceptions, Italy truly owns the accordion. Picture Italy’s central Adriatic (Eastern) coast. Some may know this area because of major shipping port of Ancona, or for the city of Pesaro, home of music composers Gioacchino Rossini and, more recently Riz Ortolani, soprano Renata Tebaldi, or even for championship winning, exotic Benelli Motorcycles-perhaps the longest continuously operating firm in its field, having produced the world’s first 6 cylinder production bike which “sings” its way down the road (how Italian!) Even lesser known Recanati lays claim to tenor Beniamino Gigli. However, these wonderful, must see attractions are secondary to me. More important to this accordionist (and my new accordion recruit, my Lady, Angela) is the musical pilgrimage to “Accordionland Central”, specifically, picturesque hilltop town Castelfidardo and its surrounding hilltop, accordion hamlets of Camerano (home of Scandalli accordions), Numana (home of Frontalini accordions), Loreto (home of the Blessed Mother’s house and the “accordion piazza”) and even Recanati (partial home of Fratelli Vaccari accordions). In the historic center of Castelfidardo, is the “Museo Internazionale Della Fisarmonica”, that is, the International Museum of the Accordion, established in1981 (City of Castelfidardo web site: http://www.comune.castelfidardo.an.it/visitatore/index. php?id=50004 OR alternate site-English language : http://accordions.com/museum/ Left to right; Paolo Brandoni, the author, and Maurizio Composini Multiple curators with a great love for music and the accordion maintain the Museum pristinely and operate it impeccably.
