  The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending August 10th 2001 included an article describing an annual accordion camp in China. Since the early 1950s the accordion has become increasingly popular in China, with much encouragement coming from government level. The Chinese have become a leading accordion nation, which is quite fitting when considering that the accordion was originally developed from the sheng, an ancient reed instrument introduced into Europe from China. A case of the wheel turning full circle.Accordion Camp at Tourist Resort – China Contributed by Li Cong In July, over 180 people took part in a week long accordion camp held at the famous tourist resort of Beidahe Beach in North Beijing. The camp, which was organized by the Beijing Office of the Chinese Accordion Association included three different training classes that ran simultaneously. These classes included a "Button Accordion Teachers class" with participants from 15 different cities in China. Tutors included Li Yan Sheng (Beijing) and Zhang Xiang Min (Hunan Province) who covered information on the lay-out of the B system button accordion. The second class covered impromptu accompaniment. Tutors Huang Li Fang (Haerbin Normal University) and Sun Han Qing (Beijing) worked with 51 participants. The third class covered "Training for Accordion Examinations". Over 100 students from Beijing, Heilongjiang, Hunan, Shandong, Hebei, Guiyang and Shanxi attended the course, tutored by Shang Yuan Chang and Du Ning (who were asked to take this course by the Chinese Accordion Association Accordion Examination Office). Course participants also took part in army training, games and beach sports, with camp fires on the beach each evening. This is the 6th time this successful summer camp has been held. |
