Kids Accordion With Song Sheet

The accordion is a much-maligned instrument, often associated with polka or Weird Al Yankovic,* but did you know how widely loved the accordion is around the world? Important classical composers including Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, and Shostakovich included accordion in famous pieces. Accordion is also a key instrument in Mexican Tejano folk music, Brazilian baião music, and even Swedish and Norwegian Viking metal.

So, getting your child the Woodstock Music Collection Kids Accordion will initiate him into a proud global tradition of accordionists. This cheery red instrument for kids has a classic look and a classic sound (with a 2-octave range in the key of C), and it’s designed to be easy for beginners to pick up. The adjustable hand strap helps little musicians get a grip, and the included songbook helps kids learn the basics.

And there’s no need to stop there – once your child gets the hang of playing the Woodstock Music Collection Kids Accordion, the Woodstock Chimes website has a webpage with tons of other accordion songs for kids to learn [http://www.chimes.com/t-songs-accordion.aspx]. Your child can teach himself the Korean national anthem, a rollicking Israeli hora, and folk tunes from Japan, Africa, Ireland, and more. This international instrument is a great fit for any dance party all over the world, and any kid who’s itching to play some music. Recommended for ages 3 and up.

*Not that there’s anything wrong with Weird Al Yankovic.
