Méthode complète d'accordéon

Full Accordion Method
Piano and Button Fingerings
Richard Galliano and his father Lucien, long recognized teacher, have written this method together. It is the result of their experience and shared reflections. It will accompany all accordionists, from beginners to confirmed musicians. The authors have chosen to present all pieces with both fingerings: piano or buttons.
All pieces on the CD have been recorded by Richard Galliano.

The fact of writing a new accordion method in collaboration with my father, who has taught me both music and this instrument, is an undertaking which I only dare to assume today, on the eve of my fifty-seventh year.
In fact, I think that teaching and giving the « longing » to play music must be a calling based on experience.
My father, aged eighty-eight years of which fifty-five have been devoted to teaching - while at the same time leading a career as a musician - has trained dozens of young amateur and professional musicians.
He has accomplished to give them all the taste of playing music. As for myself, although having mainly an experience first of studio musician and then of concert artist, I have often taken great pleasure in directing master classes in France and abroad. This is why I am happy to have achieved this method together with my father.
