Unbelievable! While learning to play the accordion, you can meet a sad clown, sing with a French lady, dance with robots or have fun at a Balkanese wedding…
We all know you don’t get any skill for free. Still, hearing the word “étude” can give you goosebumps (and even bad conscience, perhaps). That must change! Etudes shouldn’t be any boring drill, but adventurous voyages to unexplored lands.
When you play one of the Easy études for accordion by Sam Raška, you can visit Moravia, an Egyptian marketplace, a Baroque ball or the Medieval times, try waltz, blues as well as disco – and practice all the important necessary skills, fingerings, embellishments, rhythm and phrasing, at the same time. If you want to make sure what any individual etude should sound like, you can listen to a recording by the author himself. Whether big or small, you’ll be surprised how easy can your learning get thanks to the imaginative titles and nice pictures!
