 Nine young Scottish accordionists recently attended an ‘Accordion Technique Course’ in Edinburgh, Scotland, led by French virtuoso Frédéric Deschamps.The project, which was sponsored by the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society - Falkirk Branch, was held in Liberton Golf Club, from Monday October 15th - Friday 19th. The young musicians spent five days with Fred, who shared his innovative ideas and vast accordion knowledge with them. Subjects covered included posture, finger control, head position, arm position, bellows control, phrasing and facial expression. As well as developing their accordion technique the young players were also able to witness one of Fred’s students Maksym Hafych (Ukraine) practice (for six hours each day) and receive daily expert tuition from his tutor Fred. On the evening of Wednesday October 17th sixteen accordion Adult Learners attended an ‘Accordion Technique Masterclass’ hosted by Fred - a most enjoyable evening was had by all! The project culminated with the nine young musicians performing at an ‘Accordion Youth Showcase’ held in Falkirk Trinity Church on the evening of Friday October 19th. The event, sponsored by Manfrini Accordions, was well supported and in addition to the fine performances from the ‘Accordion Technique Course’ students this event featured some lively Traditional Scottish Music from Scottish musicians Adin Graham & Emma Dickson and an excellent recital from Fred’s student Maks who treated us to range of works from a Scarlatti Sonata to Solotariev’s ‘Rondo Capriccioso’. Thank You to Fred and Maks for a great week - Haste Ye Back! |
