Free template set list for accordionists

Recently I’ve been trying to get more organised with my trio, and define structured set lists which I print and hand out to each band member at the arrival of a gig (no, I wasn’t doing this previously – yes, I live life dangerously).

For a brief historical explanation of the technique and a video on how to use this technique in polkas, click on the article below.

Below is a video and exercise sheet PDF which I hope might assist some people in learning and improving their technique. Some tips to help you on your journey:
