Braves,

I will be offering “Learn Cajun Accordion Volume 2” on my WEB page later this week.
I had wanted to get your opinion on pricing.

Volume-I was a one-disk session for $25.
Volume-III was a two-disk set for $30.

Volume-II is a three disk set. Does $35 sound fair?

Here’s a run-down on contents.

Target audience is beginner to intermediate player.

- Two Video Disks – Approximately 3 hours of video instruction total.

- One Audio CD – 15 tracks of accompanying audio in two tempos. Kick off by Big Nick and then it’s your turn :) About ½ hour long.

- Booklet – 56 page booklet containing sheet music (for BOTH left and right hands) and tablature for all selections. Notes about playing on various levels. Jamey Hall’s most excellent music theory for Cajun Accordion.

Technical – 3 cameras used for far-shot, left-hand and right-hand close ups, (overhead camera for piano.) Separate audio track for high quality audio (no “across-the-room” audio).

Booklet contents:

- Demystifying the Accordion – An explanation of the available scales on the Cajun Accordion – What keys can you play in, why some songs “work” and others don’t. Demonstration on both Accordion and Piano for graphic clarity.

- Vive L ’Amour / Mon Aimable Brune – Cajun Drinking song – Demonstrated for right hand only and single notes to “get you up and running”. Includes Cajun Accordion right-hand chords for a second accordion duo as well as guitar chords.

$ 35? It's very correct. It's the price for 1 or 2 hours with a particular instructor !!!

Marc.

Works for me! Sign me up. I really enjoyed the Vol 3.

It's cheap, especially considering the time and effort you put in on it. I won't hesitate to pull the trigger on it.

Sounds good to me

I'm in.

BN, will you be at Balfa, and if so, can we pick one up there?

John

Looking forward to it. I am still enjoying Volume 1.

Hi John,

I am not positive that I will be attending Balfa camp this year ..

Although I really want to, only time will tell.

But yes, if I'm there, I'll have DVD's with me!

Merci,

--Big Nick
