Kinderbuch "ein Akkordeon-was ist das? wird e-Buch - USA

The cover of “An Accordion!  What Is That?”
Während sich der Illustrator Joan Geller Grauman und die Erzählerin/ Akkordeonistin Mary Tokarski den Kopf darüber erbrachen, wie sie genügend Geld aufbringen konnten, um ihre beliebtes Kinder-Buch "Ein Akkordeon! Was ist das? ", hatte die Autorin des Buches Karen Malan-Uribe eine ganz andere Idee.

"Es ist Zeit, dieses Buch in ein eBook zu verwandeln", beharrte sie. Karen, eine Lehrerin, die einen gewaltigen Schritt in Richtung E-Lesers in den Schulen feststellen konnte, überzeugte schließlich ihre zwei "altmodischen" Freunde und Mitarbeiter.

Mit Hilfe von Joan Ehemann Dan, wird das eBook mit Begleitmusik bald verfügbar sein. Siehe Video oben als Beispiel einer Seite aus dem eBook.

Besuchen www.accordionbee.com für weitere Informationen. Die Pläne sind, dieses Buch in den Versionen Deutsch, Spanisch und Italienisch zu produzieren.

Unten ist ein Bild der Buch Schöpfer: Joan Geller Grauman, Karen Malan-Uribe und Mary Tokarski.

Rita Davidson Marries 21st May in Florida - USA

On May 21, 2013 Accordion USA News Editor Rita Davidson from New Jersey and Asher Barnea, retired businessman from Boca Raton, were married in Florida. The internet is not only great for accordion news but is also a wonderful way for introducing people who might not otherwise have the opportunity to meet!

Rita lived in New Jersey and Asher lived in Florida. They met on one of the popular Internet dating sites! And it quickly developed into a romance and now marriage!

Rita recently retired from a long and distinguished career as a music teacher in the public schools where she used her accordion in the music classes every day!

Rita will now be known as Rita Barnea and she will happily continue her accordion activities as Editor of the Accordion USA news, Board member of the AAA, writer, musicologist and performer/workshop presenter.

Her email remains the same as Ritabelll@aol.com. Her new mailing address is 9858 Glades Road #229, Boca Raton, Florida, 33434.

Mirco Patarini Visits Music Academies - China

Mirco Patarini  with Chinese accordionist
Mirco Patarini  with Chinese young accordionistRecently Italian accordionist Mirco Patarini went  to China visiting some of the country’s most  important music  academies. He visited the ‘Youth Activities Center of Fengtai District’ in Beijing, where he has already known some of the students well, all young accordionists at the beginning of their careers.

He moved to the Art Institute of Nanjing, where he held some master classes, and then went on to meet the talented students of Normal University in Nanjing.

During the final stage of his visit, Mirco Patarini travelled to Shanghai where he held some master classes with the students of the prestigious Conservatory of Shanghai.

Considering the great success of the Chinese visits, the passion and the curiosity with which Chinese people are approaching the accordion, we would like to thank them all so much.

Dizzy Fingers Solo by Lou Coppola
Stereo Strings perform "Granada" and "Brazil", Lou Coppola accordion
Pictures above: Lou Coppola with his son John on bass. Lou Coppola, US AAA Virtuoso Champion 1955.

On May 19, our club, the Washington Metropolitan Accordion Society (WMAS) was treated to a very special concert. For the first time in 56 years, four-time AAA Virtuoso Champion and former US Air Force Strolling Strings accordionist, Lou Coppola, performed a spectacular solo concert.

Lou told the audience that his friend, Joan Grauman, “bugged” him for about 9 years to play solos again. Well yes, this is true. I am guilty as charged. It is hard to describe how happy I felt while sitting in that room listening to Lou play those solos!

His skills are still beyond excellent and his dynamics and warmth created an excitement in our large social hall that has never before been seen or heard there. Wow, Lou was a huge hit and the cheers could be heard outside the brick walls!

Then, Lou brought to the stage superb violinists Stephanie Wiman Myers and David Swanson, and celebrated bass player, John Coppola (Lou’s son).

The “Stereo Strings” performed for our club and strolled through the room. Their performance was mesmerizing and totally delightful. Please watch the above videos: Lou playing “Dizzy Fingers” and the Stereo Strings playing “Granada” and “Brazil”.

You can hear Lou Coppola and the Stereo Strings at the AAA 75th Anniversary Festival in New York City. They will be the performers during the gala banquet on Saturday, August 17.

Free Download: Updated Fiddling and Clogging Book by Dr. Daniel Kott - USA

The just updated book "Workshop on Texas Fiddling and Clogging" by Dr Daniel Kot can be played on accordion and he has kindly given this book to the accordion world as a free download. Thank you to him.

Download at: Clogging

Daniel wrote: Many may not be aware aware of the use of the accordion and fiddle in the development of the
Western USA. For example, Howe published a book of over 1,000 fiddle tunes for the accordion in the 1800's.

Howe was one of the most prolific music publishers of fiddle/accordion and dance choreographers back then.
