This volume of accordion studies is related to the material used in the first few years of tuition. As a polyphonic instrument, the accordion draws its material mainly from the piano literature. For this reason we are providing learners with piano studies, which we have adapted only to the extent demanded by the accordion. Instead of soulless practising, endless repetition of studies, we recommend transposing the exercises into as many keys as possible. This will greatly increase their value and usefulness for development.
