The asymmetrical rhythms and ornaments specific to this music will be covered. Work will be done on accompaniment (chords and right hand rhythm) of the second voice and variations to create a musical ensemble in which everyone can find their place, regardless of level.
The course is aimed at all non-beginner accordion players (minimum 2 years’ practice) and it is preferable to own an instrument with registers.
