‘14 Years Ago’ – Readers’ Comments - the first enquiry…by Rob Howard |
Last week, in this spot, we published David Kemp’s suggestion, from April 11th 1997, that Accordions Worldwide publish a readers’ comments section. On April 18th 1997 the news included the first letter received, a plea for assistance in learning the accordion, and we are wondering if Tim persevered – perhaps if he’s reading this he would let us know? LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Subject: Please answer my question Hi I have an accordion (a gift) and I have no idea how to use it. I got the piano keyboard part but what are all the buttons on the left side? Is there a chart on your site you can refer me to? I know some music but cannot figure it out. Thank you Tim We don't have a chart on Accordions Worldwide, as there are many different "systems" or arrangements of these notes. Does it have a piano keyboard? If it does, you probably have a stradella bass system. We eventually want to have a layout of all the systems on the site, but this could be a while away. The problem is that I don't want to miss one out and offend someone. I suggest that you find a teacher in your area and get some help from them. The best place to begin is by going to "teachers" on the accordion yellow pages Database on the Index page of Accordions Worldwide. I hope you find the site of benefit. If you have any further questions, or can't find a teacher in your area, please let me know so I can help you further. Congratulations on wanting to take up the accordion! Best wishes, Wayne Knights |
