Bandoneon Lessons - Learning from the instrument's techniqueBandoneon is a very well know instrument for playing tango, in fact it's part of the genre's DNA. However,
not many people know that the instrument was constructed in Germany and some people even say it was supposed to be used as an portable organ.
This means that the Bandoneon has a technique that is independent of any genre. This technique is not found by coping other instruments such as the organ or keyboard but through the development of the nature of the instrument. This is mainly the importance of the air and how it is affected by the pulling and the movement we make when we play.
Of course Tango will be an important axis of the lessons as it very important for the development of the instrument and for specific techniques but Tango won't be the starting point as it's not the best pedagogical tool for learning the instrument. But no worries, we'll get there ;)
Have you ever wondered how a Gregorian chant, Bach, Mozart & Chopin might sound in the bandoneon? The results might surprise as you would get a very different sound from the one you are originally used to. Also, we can try and use the bandoneon for different and new genres, who knows what we might discover from the instrument along the way?

Learn to play the accordion, read sheet music, play by ear and start playing your first improvisations.If you want to learn to play the accordion, it is better to find a professional, a person who has dedicated years to playing and teaching this instrument. Each instrument is different, so it is very important from the beginning to have the correct posture, the placement of the hands, etc.
I have a higher degree of interpretation and teaching of accordion approved in Spain, and many students. I teach face-to-face and online / internet classes.
Do not hesitate and contact me for more information.

Let me teach you how to play the accordion and have fun together! (piano accordion/button accordion)Have you ever tried playing accordion from YouTube tutorials, but despite playing one melody you still feel unable to play something more?
Or maybe in the attic you found an old accordion that reminded you of the sound of your childhood when your grandpa played it? Would you like to repeat that feeling?
One day, I asked myself: If I wanted to start playing the accordion from the very beginning, drawing on my rich experience learning how to play this instrument, what would I focus on in particular to reach the goal the fastest?
Surprisingly, I would have not followed the outdated accordion teaching methods :)
Nothing motivates you more than noticeable effects, that is what I based my teaching method on - self-motivation :)
Well-chosen personalised exercises based on the current repertoire bring unusually quick results.
Does it sound interesting? I invite you to my trial lesson!
All that I require is student engagement and regular, conscientious practising playing your accordion - the effects will come to you.
I provide musical materials and - if needed - audio/video.

Lessons for all levels - professional accordion player willing to share knowledge and love for musicHi! I am an accordion teacher and a professional accordion player. Throughout my teaching career, I was working with students of different ages. At the University of Linz, I chose pedagogy (as an elective module) where I had the opportunity to work with children in a group and in individual classes. I was also giving many private lessons to academy students. After teaching in a music school in Prijepolje I have started teaching at the music school “Dr Miloje Milojević” in Kragujevac, where I currently work with children aged 8 to 19.
I have a lot of patience in my classes with students and I primarily try to convey to them love for music and then everything else necessary for their progress. I am also creative in finding different solutions when it comes to solving problems. Also, knowing how much stress learning music can cause sometimes, I believe that with support and experience-based advice, I can help eliminate or reduce these problems.
I teach both button and piano accordion.
