Welcome to Virtual Accordion Camp V on June 5, 2021 at 11:45 AM EDT. Workshops, jam sessions, and social time during the day. Look for a separate event for a very special celebration concert in the evening! The theme this time is composition: Some contemporary compositions will be taught with lots of accordion technique and accordion-specific ideas built into the sessions and work on how to create your own tunes and harmonies.
Schedule:
12:30 PM EDT–Workshop Session1:
Rachel Bell: How to Write a Tune
Jeremiah McLane: Swing Gavotte
(Workshop descriptions online)
2 pm EDT–Tune Party:
Join the Virtual Accordion Camp tutors as they share their favorite pieces of music for all to play along with. Sheet music will be available in advance, and will be the closest we can get to a proper ‘jam session’ whilst online. Suitable for all.
2:45 PM EDT–WORKSHOP SESSION 2 :
Rachel Bell: Tunebook Sampler
Alex Cumming: Bringing your Music to Life
(Workshop descriptions online)
4:PM EDT—Final Gathering and Panel Discussion:
The Panel Discussion will be a chance to hear Alex, Jeremiah and Rachel nerd out on the accordion, compositions, techniques, share stories and more with a chance to ask questions as well. This will also be a chance to wrap up the day of workshops and get the link to the all important feedback form!
5:PM EDT–POST-CAMP SOCIAL
6:PM EDT–CONCERT on facebook and youtube
