Jazz Accordionist Simone Zanchini at UKAAT Workshop, London – UKby Rob Howard |
 UKAAT (United Kingdom Association of Accordion Teachers) present the important and innovative Italian jazz accordionist Simone Zanchini at their first ever accordion teachers’ workshop to be held at the Royal Academy of Music. London, on February 7th. The workshop day will run between 10 am and 7 pm, and will include contributions by Owen Murray, Romano Viazzani and Ian Watson. Zanchini made an incredible impact on UK audiences when he played at the London Accordion Festival in 2001 along with the saxophone ensemble Hallo Mr. Sax. It was here that Zanchini first delighted the late great Frank Marocco which led to a wonderful collaborative album called ‘Be-Bop Buffet’. His workshop will help and encourage teachers towards teaching the basis of jazz improvisation. Accordion teachers are often asked to teach jazz to students and a UKAAT survey showed this to be one of the most popular areas that teachers wanted to extend their skills in. Attendees are encouraged to bring their accordions as much can be learned through trying things out without fear of being judged. All accordion teachers and accordionists are welcome.
