This course provides detailed description and explanation of how to perform virtually every operation on the Irish B/C button accordion such as bellows control (basses for the accordion) and ornamentation (grace notes, triplets, rolls, etc.). Aural, rhythm and sight-reading skills will be developed through a diverse range of Irish tunes such as reels, jigs, polkas, slides, and hornpipes. Students will also gain a comprehensive knowledge of regional style approaches to phrasing and rhythm.
