15 Minute Practice for Beginner Accordion

Targeted practice for just 15 minutes a day, several times a week, will have you playing in no time! While practicing, aim for consistent speed and volume in your scales, triads, arpeggios, and chord jumps. Split your 15 minute practice into:

Right Hand Techniques (6 minutes)
-- Scales
-- Triads
-- Apreggios

Left Hand Techniques (4 minutes)
-- Incremental chord jumps
-- Chord jumps for a specific song

Song Practice (5 minutes)
-- Play through a passage of a song
-- Memorize a line or passage of a song

Plus instant access to sheet music, lessons, and great accordion songs.

I really love the fact that you don't hide your mistakes from us, it makes me feel very welcome on your channel that it's ok to make mistakes :)

I wish I could practise with the volume muted on the accordion. Now when playing 15-30 minutes of scales every day I drive my family insane.

after lengthy absence from accordion (50 years lol) I began to play good again thanks to Moshe …. 8 hours a day 7 days a week practice and more for me. I don't have much time left on earth so personal reasons I practice day and night, great lessons ….. A+

That is what I was looking for. I practice songs every day half an hour but I feel lack of technical exercises. Many thanks Ronen. Greetings from Poland

You have inspired me to take my accordion out and start playing after 7 years of not playing

[bptstg]

Thank you for your advice that inspired me for my work method! I've been working 2 hours a day for two months with 1 hour of scales and technique. The exercise that helped me the most is the work of the totality of the scales and modes (Mixolidien, lidien...), which developed my intuition to find the notes at the first try! There is no secret, regular daily work pays off.
Working every day also helps a lot with motivation. It is much harder to cancel the work session after two months of daily constance! I feel like I'm making progress, like I'm looking out the window of a train! And I am confident that in a few months, years I will get to the level I dream of and even exceed it :)

Thanks for the nice video. I'm a beginner on accordion, but I used to teach piano and brass, mainly for jazz students. I agree about the 15 minutes practice thing. It's a minimum of course, and most students will want to spend more time eventually. But, I still think it's good to practise with the mentality of how we can get the most out of the first 15 minutes, and also that we don't need to beat ourselves up if it's only 15 minutes. I know that a lot of students lose heart if they feel obliged to practise for much longer.

I bought a $50 accordion two years ago. Gonna start playing again and subscribe to your website in the new year.

This is very helpful. I don't spend enough time on these important basics. I need to spend a lot more time of triads and arpeggios. On the good news front, I remember the fingerings from my years of piano lessons. I'm going to start to utilize these practice techniques immediately.
