‘Music For All’ TV Pedagogy by Frédéric Deschamps – France, French Speaking Countriesby Harley Jones |
From September 2011, the ‘Armony TV’ network will air ‘Music For All’ on Channel 17 of DTT free viewing for France, Canada, Switzerland, Belgium, etc.. ‘Armony TV’ is opening its programming to the teaching of the accordion. This 26-minute weekly program titled ‘Music for All’ to be led by Frédéric Deschamps, will air every Wednesday afternoon from 3.30pm to 4pm, and then broadcast again an hour and a half later, from 5.30pm to 6pm on the same day, allowing all accordionists to assimilate the first showing, apply the lesson material, and then re-watch the show to check that the information has been absorbed correctly. This is a really nice initiative for our instrument, which will give audio-visual teaching sequences for all French speaking accordionists as developed by Frédéric Deschamps. The broadcasting begins in September 2011 and is a unique and innovative addition to our instrument. The accordion is not the only instrument. This will also apply to other instruments such as guitar, piano, drums and harmonica, respectively released on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of each week, with Frédéric Deschamps being the program director. Further information about this exciting accordion project will be released in the coming weeks. |
