July 18th, 2007The third item I consider in choosing learning material, musical or otherwise is the level of the material.

Is the level appropriate for me?
When looking for a book on how to play the accordion or any other instrument, one of the things you have to take into account is the level. Who is this eBook intended for? How much prior knowledge do you have to have? What will I have accomplished by the end of the course? In the case of Accordion Course for Beginners, the name pretty well says it all. This book is intended for beginners, so it starts with the fundamentals of reading music, time signatures, note values, keys, and so on. For those with a music background this may seem a bit redundant, but for the many who people who nay have taken music as a child and then dropped it, only to inherit an accordion from a family member or friend later on, the beginning portion of this book can serve as a solid review to get you going again.
Even if you are not a beginning musical, a well-written, well-planned, and well-executed book like this can be a great asset for the accordion portions alone. Because of course it’s not all just music theory in the first part of the book—you also learn the fundamentals of accordion along the way, so that by the time you start laying your first song, you know what’s going on. The graphics, sound clips, and embedded videos make it easy for you to go at your own pace as you learn to play the accordion. The demonstrations are helpful; the graphics and presentation easy to understand.
By the end of this course, you will have progressed from a beginner accordion player to an intermediate, which is a fair accomplishment. That gives you enough skill to learn more on your own, explore new genres, experiment with different techniques, and figure out songs on your own.
In short, in terms of level, this creative eBook on how to play the accordion does a good job a presenting material suitable for beginners or returning musicians who are musically rusty in theory, and an excellent job of explaining the accordion and taking the beginner step-by-step through the 50 lessons that lead the beginner to an intermediate level.
