Hi Chickers, I to am in the Cleveland area. I purchased a beginners accordion book and I have been watching YouTube videos right now. I can play other instruments but the accordion is one I have always wanted to learn
CASSIDY:
Well, I'm really glad to hear we have someone in Cleveland interested in learning accordion. Cleveland has a wealth of
old time talent, but I was beginning to think I was the only beginner in the Cleveland area. Surprising, with all the history
of polka, and all the ethnic music in the area.
Curiosity: are you taking lessons, or going the self teaching route ? I have tried both, but I am back to self teaching.
I'm fairly new with the accordion, and a senior beginner.
Learning to play the accordion well, is not an easy goal. I found that both self teaching, and taking lessons have pluses,
and minus'.
What series of accordion books are you using ? Lot's of talent on the forum, and very helpful information from the many
folks who make up this community.
Hey, we can work on playing as a duet---ha, ha.----sometime down the road.
Take care, and I wish you lots of success in your playing.
Keep in touch, and let us know how you are progressing
CHICKERS
