CBA tutorials - c system

[flatstanley]

Just discovered the following CBA tutorials on you tube, mainly French chansonnier tunes. I have always struggled to find good, clear tutorials for the CBA although there seem to be a lot for piano accordion. They are in French but should be understandable to non French speakers. (Just remember the French often use do re me not CDE for describing notes!). I have found them very useful for fingering techniques, or at least alternatives:




Hope they are of some use, both presenters have several videos.

Hi,

Also check out the Swiss player Jean-Yves Sixt. He has 10 free lessons on You Tube that are useful for developing independence in the right hand fingers. Dont worry that he scarcely uses his thumb, like the player in the second clip. You can always adapt his lessons to whatever fingering suits you best, but if you can manage his fingering in the tune Valse des Aces it will help your little finger immensely. .

There are one or two French language courses available with video instruction, but they are not free.

If youve ever taken CBA lessons from a teacher there are often situations when you possibly wont be able to manage his/her fingering, or find it too awkward, and youll need to work out alternatives. All part of the fun of learning CBA
