Rules novice harmonist

  2. Try to master all the technology of learning slowly, but right from the very beginning, not postponing the observance of the rules until later (the “later” may not come due to the fact that something stops going out). If you are not sure about anything, look for the answer to your question in books, on the Internet or from a friend of a musician. For the rest, act independently and bravely!
  3. The first exercise that you need to learn with the instrument is the gamma in C major, even if you master the game by ear, and not by notes, you need to train on the scales. Vary them by playing the scale up and down with various strokes (jerky and connected). The gamma game will enhance your technique: speed of execution, connectivity, fur control, etc.
  4. Fur during execution lead smoothly, do not pull, do not stretch to the end, leaving a stock.
  5. When learning the scale or melody on the right keyboard, use all your fingers at once, choosing convenient options, and not just one or two, because you simply won't play at a fast pace with one finger.
  6. Since you master the accordion without a mentor, it will be good to see your performance in the recording, in order to see the game from the side and correct mistakes.
  7. Listen to a lot of songs and tunes played on the harmonica. This will give expression to your game, help to build musical phrases correctly.

Well, perhaps, all for a start. Dare! Inspire yourself by listening to popular artists and perky tunes! Work on a daily basis, and the results of your labors will be songs, which, undoubtedly, relatives and friends will rejoice when they gather at the family table!
