Happy Customers

You will be learning from one of Ireland’s foremost button accordion players and here is what the customers have to say.

“The site is really good. Bought a box for my children last week and signed up to get the basics of accordion. Very easy to follow.” – Ciarán, Donegal, Ireland.

“I have been using Damien’s platform for two months now and although I am not a total beginner I needed to go back to the start because I have never had official lessons. I like the very thorough, detailed way of teaching always advising about which finger to put on each note, particularly when you get to the highter notes. The use of the bellows explained here is very helpful. Damien’s pace is great for a beginner and of course we have the option of speeding it up as well. My accordion is a Double Ray BC 21 button not 23 button used here but I can follow along perfectly. I am enjoying the mix of tunes, jigs, polkas, marches, hornpipe, barndance.” – Laura, Westmeath, Ireland.

“I’m so happy to find this site. I’ve played single row for many years and following a gig from St. Patrick’s day, my attention turned to the Emerald Island. This site is exactly what I needed to learn the BC and the traditional Irish repertoire. I’m looking forward to working through the lessons”. Brad, OH, USA.

“I always had a great interest in the button accordion and in the last few years took some lessons online. I have a B/C accordion and sometimes it’s difficult to get lessons for the B/C. I have only started on your site but so far love it. You have it so well explained. Love your suggestion of fingerwork. You have the stepping stones so well laid out. Thanks so much for setting this up I will stay and move on to the next  course”. Deirdre, Ontario, Canada.

 

“This is a great set up and lots of fun. The videos let me learn at my own pace and the instruction is clear, thorough, and helpful. I’m really enjoying it and looking forward to working through all of the courses. Highly recommended.” Mark, California, USA.
