Beginners - with Ciorstaidh Chaimbeul

Overview

Previously Wednesday ACW, this class has moved to Monday Class from 12 Feb 2024 to  have all  Accordion Classes on the same night

Class Code – AC1

AC1-A Colin Nicholson

AC1-B Ciorstaidh Chaimbeul

This Hybrid class will be in Springburn campus with a zoom link for those who cannot make it to Glasgow Kelvin College.

Our Beginners class will teach correct posture, technique, fingering and bellows control to get you started playing tunes.

Due to large numbers of new Accordion students, we have split this class to maintain a reasonable student/tutor ratio

The Hybrid scope will cover a skill range from Beginners to Improvers

Please note Absolute Beginners (never played Accordion) should join in August (Term 1) or February (Term 3)
