    Easy to follow but focuses on basics of music theory
  

*by S***M on Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2022*

This is an okay book and video.  The instructions are very clear and the drills are basic.  I think of it as a primer on music theory with a little of accordion songs thrown in.  Students of classical music instruction will recognize the approach.  I felt that there is too little emphasis on making music and too much on music theory.  For adult learners with a good foundation on music theory it is very slow.  For me, a better approach is "music first, theory second".  While I cant deny the value of reading music, it is PLAYING MUSIC that we are after.  I rather have a "see and play" approach that rewards quickly.  I still can recommend this however because the pace of instruction is accessible for everyone.

    BOOK TRIES TO DO TOO MUCH, but your patience will prevail
  

*by L***T on Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2017*

Great for total beginners, but much music theory and keyboard technique is wasted on people who can play piano.  The LEFT HAND is, as ever in all books I've seen thus far, just something YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO FIGURE OUT BY YOUR LITTLE OWN SELF!  NO information about how to think of hand position in relation to the ONE BUTTON "C".  Yet, since you can't see your hands, what a nightmare this can be!  I found some relief using a mirror, and thereby remembered how to move my fingers for the easy moves, but at the moment, as a learner, but quite a decent piano player, I am at a loss as to how to I shall memorize the further moves from some base place.  Yet perhaps I should assume that IT WILL BECOME CLEAR, but it seems impossible at the moment.  But any book cannot replace your own sensibility of touching the keys and INTUITING THE KEYS NEARBY by yourself, and that seems to be the secret of accordion playing, as difficult to win as it is.  OVERALL, THE BOOK TRIES TO DO TOO MUCH.  NO beginner will have the patience to just follow this method ALONE.  Of course you should try other ideas, books, but there comes a point when too much information is presented to those who grasp little.  Your job, as a student, is to recognize what sounds like hokum before you buy it.  Thus, I say, if you can play piano, great for the right hand.  The left hand is STILL A MYSTERY.  I guess you actually have to take lessons, which ain't such a bad thing, mate, but to this long-winded reviewer, and LOVER of accordion newly, it seems a quite a pain.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very informative & Interactive
  

*by M***P on Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2021*

Although I play a variety of musical instruments, including the piano keyboard, the accordion can be challenging, given as many as 120 base notes & chord buttons, & simply knowing how to operate the instrument as a whole; thankfully, the book starts out with the very basics, including simple music theory; also, if you are determined enough to fully learn how to play from start to finish, there are interactive media available on-line via a code provided to purchasers of the book, so that an instructor can guide you through it all, step by step, or you can skip around at any time if you wish to explore the lessons on your own.
