Thanks, this is my version: kzbin.infottGdMZ4IuPA

Great video. But you didn't mention three main advantages of button accordion over piano. 1. It is quite easy to build chords: just put the first finger to base note, than count 3 steps and than 4 steps more. 2. Learn the song. Than move right hand to 1 row below, and the left hand 3 rows below. As the layout is periodical - you will play in another scale (1.5tones higher) 3. 5 rows give you the greatest possibility to play on any scale. You can move all notes one step to the right. Or two. Or three - that means 1 row below/higher

Would love to hear Pennsylvania Polka!

I had trouble with the timezones aswell. An easy fix would be to add a clock on the website displaying your own timezone Ronan! This way others can easily translate that to their own.

THIS! The fundamentals, yes, which is really what I want to cement in! These are fantastic, my 2025 goal is to get fundamentals and as importantly, learn musicality. Thank you is from the bottom of my heart!!!

Eagerly awaiting for your next session ..

I been taking lessons for about a year now. I’ve been taught using the 3- 2 fingering pattern. So, you’re starting the beginning students with the 3-4 fingering pattern. I tried this and it’s definitely not working for me right now. I was told to stick with the 3-2 fingering since I’m comfortable with it. What are your thoughts? Maybe eventually I will start using the 3-4 fingering. What are the pros and cons of using one pattern over the other. Please advise if you have time. I watch all your videos and posting. They are very informative. Thank you for that. Happy Squeezing 🪗 Dan

Is it just me or you look way more younger in this video than the last live stream😅

Thanks for attending these trial workshops! I learned so much about *teaching* from them. Keep your eyes peeled for future workshops, coming soon!

Don't buy an accordion like this. Its about 90 years old and out of tune. Accordion technicians are few and far apart and in my experience they wont fix instruments this old and cant necessarily either because of how long ago their parts stopped being produced. Each to their own but if i started out on this accordion, i would have never learned the instrument.

Oh my gosh, I missed these workshops by a day!! I just found you. I hope these will be offered again.

liberty bellows in Pennsylvania has new button accordions of various configurations the Pigini is the creme da la creme of button accordions

Great idea! I am interested!

Excellent idea. I’m working on a Master’s Degree in ethnomusicology in the UK remotely. The breakout room idea is what we do for our live sessions. Helps the learner not only stay engaged but feel not so alone. The accordion is so rare that connecting with other accordionists is so rare for me. I would appreciate the opportunity to connect with others. Sounds like a big challenge, but very valuable.

I hope this reaches you: I'm trying to play a pretty difficult song standing up that requires a ridiculous amount of left hand expertise but I'm having an issue with the bass, every time I go for example from D# to C or any range downwards with a jump of sorts (with the hand) that isn't reachable by just rotating the hand the left hand seems to droop downwards which I don't want, hope you can help, thanks!

Epic!!!

What do the buttons (switches?) do on the bass side? I have 2 on mine, and I can hear *a* difference but I don't really know how it's different

Awesome, Ronen! I love your amazing cover of this Lachini's beautiful masterpiece! Thank you so much for playing/recording and sharing it with the masses online! ❤

May I join this session as a viewer?..I am having interest in accordion playing

Yes please! This is my first time making any comment online but, you just said and thought of doing something I was seeking for a long time. You are amazing teacher! I am looking forward to your new structure. Sign me up

🎉🎉🎉🎉suuuuper🎉🎉🎉

bravoooooooo🎉

I'm working on my 12 bass 25 piano key accordion with easy Christmas songs. Having lots of fun too. says Judy Corrette

Yes, i'm interested.

Can you play the Säkkijärven Polkka? I’m trying to figure that one out. It’s been about 40 years ago when I read notes last.

Thanks, this actually made me understand more

Ear training plays a big role in being able to step away from sheet music and really *understand* a song. Give it a try! Here are more ear training exercises: accordionlove.com/hand-ear-coordination-exercises-for-the-accordion/

My family has exactly the same small accordion. I learned to play that instrument back in the 70s. My complain always was: accordion is cool for certain types of music. Sailor music, Bavariantraditonal Landla, Tango, frech chansons. But it didn’t work with jazz or rock music. I played „in the mood“ (Miller). But i didn’t like it. Now I am learning acoustic guitar. Camp fire songs.

Hi i really need help and I want to question you if you can make a tutorial for the accomplishment in the video: Natanael dumitreas și flaviu niculcea Nu mai sta departe (Instrumental). Thanks

Accordion player from Romania here. I learned by ear and watching my siblings. Trying to learn to read the sheet music now to expand style. I can say you’re completely right about over notating. It’s so much better to leave it up to us to style. There are so many options with our bellowed instrument.

Beautifully played.. Thank you for this session...

Hey Ronen, I think it's called "a gateway accordion "... ;-)

Thank you for this, this was helpful and your work and skills are amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hello everyone from, Bensalem, Pa

Beautiful melody.

Thank you so much for this video. I truly love your way of teaching

I've always loved your videos - been there since you started. Punching the bass buttons IS great advice - except when it isn't. :) Most songs have an A and B section and those are perfect transition points to change you bass style.

So beautiful...🪗🌹 Thank you for playing...

Can you please tell me the name of the red accordion? Looking for one.

❤
