Program Description
This program provides structured musical instruction for learners seeking to master the Steirische Harmonika without previous music theory or standard sheet music knowledge. Designed for beginners of all age groups starting at age 13, the curriculum guides students step by step from basic posture and bellows technique to playing complete musical pieces.
Instruction focuses on standard Griffschrift notation, a specialized tablature system that translates buttons directly onto paper. The curriculum covers foundational finger drills using the five-finger system, the Slovenian bass system, rhythmic coordination, and execution on four-row instruments tuned in B-Es-As-Des or G-C-F-B, accompanied by a comprehensive PDF study booklet.
The learning experience consists of 21 video lessons encompassing more than 20 instructional hours, delivered through an online platform equipped with a dedicated video loop player and MIDI integration for focused segment practice. Participants learn entirely self-paced from home, backed by instructor support for technical and musical inquiries.
