 All Ireland Champion diatonic button accordionist and teacher Damien Connolly, now based in Connecticut, has produced a combined tutor book and DVD for the B/C accordion, aimed at intermediate to advanced players. The teaching method employs colour coding for bellows work and detailed fingering for each tune - even for recommended grace notes, along with the benefits of the face-to-face learning characteristic of the oral tradition. The book provides detailed descriptions and explanations of how to perform virtually every operation on the Irish B/C accordion - bellows control, grace notes, triplets, rolls, basses, etc. - along with notation for 29 reels, jigs, and polkas, plus bass work. The DVD contains close-up views of Damien's hand as he plays slowly, once through every tune offered in the manual. For further information email: damienjconnolly@hotmail.com |
