Hello, I would like to accompany a singer who already plays the guitar and also, for other songs, a harmonica player. I like very much for example what the accordionist of HK does. I am 62 years old, I am a beginner... Let's say that I have the level of 2 years of accordion. If you have any ideas, tips for me to move forward... I'm interested. I would also like to develop the ear to know how to repeat what I hear, but I suppose that will come with time.
Thank you.
I join HK: On the same wavelength.

Hello
Who says ACCOMPANYING implies NEVER PLAYING THE MELODY. It's
so obvious that I often see and hear people who, in order to
accompany, just play the whole melody on mute. Doing this does not help
the singer at all.
The latter interprets
the whole melody in the form of the song with the words and its intonations.
It is always the orchestra and the musicians who compose it
that support the song.
To accompany well, there are several schools. Either, the improvisation by following the grid of
the sequence of the chords (sequence = the continuation of the chords)
The guitarists, rhythm the - sequence -, the bass supports
as the drummer the strong times of the music so that everyone is in
synchro.
Either arpeggiate the composition of the chords in all directions
(reversal), but not too much either not to take all the place
sound in the piece.
Do is Do Mi Sol ...but also Mi Sol Do
or Sol Mi Do or Sol Do Mi and on
several octaves
The second school is to play a counter-song which is
already well written and which comes to support the important passages of the song..like
the intro ...a bridge .the chorus .a finale ...
(a good counter-song is what we hear in IL EST
CINQ HEURES PARIS S'EVEILLE on the flute for example) .
Y'a du boulot ...bon courage.

Thank you Yoyodu! I just listened to the counter-song. I love it! I guess to compose it you have to follow the chords too... I have good solfeggio basics... but I can't trust myself musically on what I could invent. I need to be able to check intellectually if it fits. Even for the chords! On Coher's Hallelujah for example I like the full chord in the right hand with a mute... trying to keep a common note as much as possible so that it's well connected. I don't dare arpeggios yet.
I may start with chord exercises to get more flexibility and speed.
Thanks again...

Hello
Between - interpretation - and - improvisation - it is two worlds.
The free software IMPRO-VISOR ..allows you to improve your - improvisation - by being inspired by famous musicians and mainly by Jazzman(s)
https://www.cs.hmc.edu/~keller/jazz/improvisor/
Interpretation is to appropriate a piece by lengthening or shortening the existing notes without inventing anything more, always being in the same tempo in the original style or in another style. Like playing AU CLAIR DE LA LUNE in Tango.

Good evening,
Very interesting... The improv software seems a bit difficult to me... and I'm afraid to lose time if I'm not on the accordion. I don't have enough time to play. On the other hand, I understand better the concept of interpretation. There is work to do... but it is exciting.
Thank you very much.

thank you for reading

For the left hand, if as I suppose you work alone, I would advise you to meet someone who can give you some basics (maybe take some lessons...). If you indicate in which region you live, a member of the forum will perhaps be able to help you (personally, I'm in the Toulouse region).for the repertoire: you have everything you want on the forum; you can start to look on the internet at videos of animations in old people's homes. If you start with a not very long repertoire, you will quickly have requests from the residents!
Good luck
Michel

Hello, Yes indeed, the construction of the chords, the principles which govern them and their sequences, it is the harmony. Many musicians neglect this learning. It is necessary to take a few lessons to acquire the basics and to be able to play with pleasure and understand what you are doing, even for pieces that seem simple. Good music.

good evening, I am taking lessons with an accordeon teacher but apart from working on my left hand, she doesn't tell me anything else, she doesn't have any tricks to give me, I coordinate my two hands with difficulty, and so, I am learning really slowly, I would like to advance a little faster

Hello,It's long.....it's even sometimes very long.A lot of work, a lot of rigor, it is necessary to acquire the independence of the two hands.For the simple pieces (4, 5 chords) that should go faster.A precious help: - knowledge of the theory of the music- knowledge of the composition of the chords- knowledge of the harmony- work of the scales- etc....
There are a lot of tutorials on youtube (you have to go and sort them out).
You must not give up, the reward is at the end of the hours of work.
Sincerely

I also sent you a message in PM to send you a method for the left hand but so far I have not received any answer from you.
As soon as possible I will put it on the site.
Have a nice day.

Hello Angelique, Don't give up .... but don't skip any steps. You must acquire a good practice of the left hand as well as the right hand then play with both hands slowly to start. The technicality is acquired as time goes by. As our Comrade LEVINCERET says, it can be long.well musically and good luck. MUSETTE27
Hello to you; accordionist friends. I wanted to thank from the bottom of my heart our friend Manu Maugain for sharing his qualities through the methods he has designed for beginners as well as for experienced accordionists. After having contacted him by phone, I ordered on Play Music "Jazz improvisation on accordion" that I have just received. This one is full of ideas, and knows a great wealth, in term of solfeggio; for the one or the other, who dreams of composing his own music or arranging already built pieces. If I dare to promote this precise method, it is because I know that many members have the desire to create; Manu gives through his research, the keys allowing to cross the step of the creativity, with its rules of construction. On behalf of all of us, I congratulate this very talented artist, who puts the fruit of his work at our disposal. Thank you Manu for this album!
