Have you wondered what the difference is between a diminished triad and an augmented triad? Where do chords come from and how do they relate to scales? And what about those pesky chord symbols?

This workshop will bring some clarity to where chords and scales come from and why they matter. It is suitable for accordionists from all musical backgrounds and beginner to intermediate levels of experience. Written support materials will be provided in advance of the workshop and there will be plenty of opportunities to play.
