The Italian Accordion Academy is an Italian school of music exclusively concerned with education on diatonic accordion and its repertory around the world.

Recently the Academy has released the first on-line course of diatonic accordion, organized through user-friendly learning modules.

Actually, the Italian Accordion Academy is offering to the diatonic accordion players in Italy and around the world the first learning modules concerning Italian traditional music and a lot of international tunes that the Academy suggests to every diatonic accordion player.

So we can approach not only on-line lessons about famous Italian folk dances as “tarantella” or “pizzica”, but we found also French bourrées valzer and mazurkas, Spanish Fandangos, Irish Jigs, Scandinavian dances and Klezmer and Yiddish tunes.

Furthermore, the Italian Accordion Academy offers a basic course for those of you that wish to begin to play diatonic accordion starting from the basics.

Some of the best international players will be involved in the on-line course in order to prepare very specific learning modules about traditional music from the world.

Each learning module is available in Italian or English. It is always accessible and dedicated to a specific tune and it includes videos, listenings, tablatures, musical exercises and suggestions oriented to correctly improve one's own skills on the instrument. It is not necessary to install any software. You need only a web browser.
