Re: Cajun Accordion Music Theory - Files

Yeah, Understand how a tune is structured is very important to play music. I started accordion without musical knowledges, I haven't any musician friends, so the only way to understand music was:

- 1st learn basic tunes from tablature (very basic and not cajun ones, just to get use with the instrument).
- 2nd read lots of music theory about partition, how a tune is built and how a tune is made and how my instrument is built. + listen lots of cajun music.
- 3rd Learn by watching clips.

...and just so know learn by ears, and it seem so easy know!

I don't say it's the best solution for everybody, but for me I think that getting all this steps have been vey useful...



and Brett, thank you for all your stuff about making video lessons and now with this new tutorials, very useful as always!

Re: Cajun Accordion Music Theory - Files - For KEYS A - Bb - C

Some folks have asked that I complete the Accordion Theory file for several different key accordions. Attached you can find Link #1 (Key of A), Link #2 (Key of Bb), and Link #3 (Key of C). There have been some revisions to the C file since last posted.

Hope you enjoy, and feel free to ask questions if something isn't clear.

Thanks
Brett Thibodeaux

Re: Cajun Accordion Music Theory - Files - CONSOLIDATED - BIG NICK

Better Yet I have consolidated all of this information (LINK#1) into one PDF document along with an explanation of how to use each document step-by-step. I have also forwarded this to Big Nick's Email in hopes that he can load onto the bottom of this discussion board (similar to Jamie Hall's Music Theory) so that this will be more readily available for others in the future.

OK I'm finished for a while.

Thanks
Brett Thibodeaux
