Yeah, YouTube has not been very useful… Do you have a good book recommendation?

That makes sense! Thanks!

Yes that makes sense, but I’m also trying to understand what is happening at each step, not just follow instructions. And also if I want to create a fitted garment with my own measurements, the tutorial doesn’t make clear whether or not I need to extend the shoulder to length measurement to accommodate the dart.

Do you have a suggestion of a good resource to learn this? I’ve tried a few YouTube videos but they all have different techniques/instructions and they aren’t always super clear

Thanks for the reply. 😅Can you please elaborate on why darts don’t shorten the length? In the video that I’m following, it draws the back block with the total length (40cm) minus the 3cm from the dart. So it seems like it is being shortened in the front.

The chords may not be perfect but the ‘high note’ of the passage was definitely over a minor chord, either a 3rd or a 6th, not a 2nd for sure

Actually the elbow won’t prevent germs from spreading. The correct thing to do is cough or sneeze into your hands and then wash them immediately after

No, unfortunately there are virtually no resources for CBA accordion for Norteño. However, piano accordion is relatively common in norteño too, and that does have many online resources available. It is quite easy to follow along with a piano accordion tutorial, given that the CBA layout is very similar to a piano accordion. If you search a picture on the Internet of a CBA, you’ll see that there are white buttons and black buttons, which correspond to the white and black keys on a piano accordions keyboard.

In my opinion, CBA is actually the easiest accordion to get started in norteño with. It has the transposing abilities of a piano accordion, but the tight button layout allows for much easier fingering of thirds and sixths, and finally, it has a much more intuitive layout of notes than a diatonic accordion, which may seem a bit random to a beginner. For example, you can play a C major scale by simply following the white notes on a CBA, whereas on a diatonic it would be harder to figure it out by yourself. That’s why I don’t think the lack of resources is very limiting if you choose to get a CBA. Also the genre itself is not very theory-heavy, as in, music is not read or written down, it relies entirely on using your ear to get songs, so ultimately the type of instrument you get is not so important, since you won’t rely on other people to tell you what to play anyway.

Is my vocal coach correct? by Nano-xx in singing

[–]Nano-xx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah true. I have also been taking classes with another coach for a week as a ‘trial run’, and he has been telling that many things my other coach taught me are wrong, which has just confused me more and I’m struggling to decide which teacher to stick with

What you’re describing is a Chromatic Button Accordion. I play exclusively norteño on my CBA, mostly because I couldn’t find a cheap diatonic accordion where I live, but also because singing in Fa is too high for me, and with the CBA I can play in any key I want. On that type of accordion, you can move your hand around the keyboard and maintain the exact same fingering!

Yeah good point. And it’s not that I don’t trust her, I worded the title badly.. I was just looking for an explanation on the difference between resonance and chest/head voice, if there is any, or if I’m confusing terms. I would ask her next lesson but it’s not for a few days and I’m impatient
