Applications for Buttons & Bellows are open until Wednesday 17th of June, 5pm. Buttons & Bellows is an accordion group-class for students aged 7 years and upward. In weekly 45-minute sessions, students discover the accordion through musical games, solo and duet pieces, and joyful group music-making—building skills such as rhythm, listening, music literacy, teamwork, and confidence along the way. With fun performance opportunities throughout the year, young musicians learn to play together, follow a conductor, and shine on stage. Beginner accordions are available on loan on registration for the course.
