I have been studying the accordion far longer than I have the piano. On the pa I can read at about a grade four RCM level,that comes from years of study with my teacher drilling each piece bar by bar for me. On the piano I am just starting grade one level. Yet I can sight read,sometimes hands together,usually hands apart,much of the music at my grade level. But I have never been able to sight read anything on the pa. Today I pulled out a book of standards for the accordion with the thoughttthought that since I will recognize the tunes perhaps they wont be as difficult to,play. But after barely one bar of complete frustration I toss d the book away. Now i understand that on the pa we cant always look at our fingers,but I am so much more used to playing the piano with much less instruction that there too I dont always need to look down at my hands.
I find the inability to sight read on the accordion,even with just the right hand alone so frustrating.
Any suggestions please?
