Getting Into The Box - Traditional French Music on the G/C Button Accordion - Vol. 1
Getting Into The Box - Traditional French Music on the G/C Button Accordion - Vol. 1 is a tune book with companion
music CD. Produced and published by my friend Mitch Gordon, it features sheet music and recordings of 19 traditional French tunes
that have been favorites with West Coast (U.S.) musicians for years. The sheet music of each tune selection consists of melody notation along with
accompanying chords, as well as notes on the tune's origin, correct rhythm , and appropriate playing style. The companion CD recording contains both
slow and moderate speed versions of each tune. The slow speed version is suitable for learning the piece, while the quicker version
is useful for hearing what tune should sound like, and for playing along with when more skilled.
As a long time player/teacher of French button accordion music, I highly recommend this booklet/CD to all players of 2 and 2-1/2 row G/C,
and 3 row G/C/F diatonic (button) accordions. It also serves as a great introduction to French music for players of other instruments as well.
