ABOUT THE AUTHOR - Enzo Giribaldi

See and hear your teacher Enzo Giribaldi play the exercises for you and also some popular accordion songs to inspire you to study and practice.

The 'MO AWARD'

Enzo began learning to play the accordion from the age of five years old from the local parish priest in a small northern Italian town. He soon was introduced to formal lessons from Maestro Carlo Ferrero.

Enzo won his first competition when he was six years old. At the age of nine years old his family emigrated to Australia where he continued his studies with a German teacher, Otto Weiss located in Sydney.

At the age of 17 years old he continued his studies with Maestro Dante Simonelli who had also emigrated to Australia. Maestro Simonelli had produced Italian and World Champions and under his tutoring Enzo improved immensely, so much so that he was destined to become one of the best accordionists in Australia.

Maestro Simonelli was not only a great teacher of accordion but was himself a world class accordionist who was a close friend of the great Gervasio Marcosignori. Enzo was fortunate to have met Marcosignori during his frequent tours of Australia and in fact was invited by Marcosignori to take part in the tour as a support artist.

Aged twenty, Enzo began to teach accordion under the supervision of Maestro Simonelli. During this time Enzo had been playing in Australia's largest Italian club, Club Marconi with his quartet. Enzo also completed a Theory of Music course at the Conservatorium of Music - Sydney.

Aged twenty four Enzo opened his first music school and in a short time he had a total of four music schools with twenty two teachers working for him teaching about 600 students of which about half were learning the accordion. During this time Enzo produced local, state and Australian champions.

The reason for his teaching success was that Enzo invented new teaching techniques which helped his students learn quicker and at the same time making the learning experience pleasant and enjoyable. He basically broke away from traditional teaching which was too stringent and lacked the "fun" in learning an instrument.

To list all his achievements would be too lengthy, but one achievement Enzo is very proud of is that his dance band was nominated for Australia's most prestigious award, (The Australian Entertainment 'MO' Awards) in the category of "Best Accompanying Band Category" no less than SIX times in consecutive years, winning the award TWICE! What was special about Enzo's win was that no other band before or since had won the award with an ACCORDIONIST as the band leader!

Enzo Giribaldi's "Accordion Course for Beginners" is to our knowledge, the only accordion eBook available today!

In this book Enzo puts his immense experience in teaching and playing the accordion to the fore.

Unlike other authors, Enzo can be heard playing the exercises and also includes some of his favorite tunes for the student to listen to. This is both designed to inspire students and also to reinforce the ability and credibility of the author.

A FEW SAMPLES FROM THE eBook

The Video Icon When this icon is shown in the eBook, by clicking on it the student will be able to view and listen to how the exercise should be played.

Pictures & Diagrams (Sample pictures from the eBook)

Hereunder are just some of the color coded examples selected from the eBook. These are designed to help the student in recognizing and understanding the exercises in the lessons covered in the eBook.

Each lesson and exercise is clearly shown and demonstrated.
The student can replay the video OR audio files as many times as is necessary.

As can be seen from the examples on the right - each new exercise is fully explained. Together with the video clip and the sound clip students can chose either to view and hear if they are playing it correctly. Please note as mentioned earlier that all video clips have sound as well!

In this sample the eye symbol is used to alert the student to a new technique

When a new technique is implemented within a tune or exercise, the student is alerted by using color reminders as shown in this example.

By the time the student reaches page 27 (which is about half way through the eBook) he or she will be playing several simple and easy tunes such as Jingle Bells as shown here on the right.

TESTIMONIALS (Surnames withheld)

Congratulations, I purchased the Beginners Course a couple of weeks ago and like all good books I just can't put it down.
The course does everything, (and more ) that you state in the description. Be assured that I will return, early in the New Year to Purchase the Intermediate. Again, many many thanks to you for having the foresight to recognize the needs of the beginner. Regards, John
I am 58, and stopped playing the accordion when I was 16. On Saturday I bought a used accordion and am anxious to get started again. I have started your lessons and they look great! DW.
Hi Enzo,
I'm very happy with your eBook. You are never to old to learn music (etc.). I'm now on page 28 and it's very nice to hear the music from you and then to play as it belongs. The advanced eBook is near by I think. Greetings from me, Jan and my wife Anne-Mieke.
Hello Enzo,
I received the eBook and it's very clear how to play. And I did make a hard copy in color, it looks good. JW.
Hi, Item arrived safely this morning, I must state quicker than internal post. (posted Monday, arrived Friday) I will be back in due time to purchase the Intermediate Course. 5 star de-lux service. I will leave positive feed back. regards, John H.
Hi Enzo
Thank you for your reply. I have now downloaded the files using the attached links and all appears to be in order, I haven't had time to use it yet. Re the disc if you would not mind sending me another that would be great. The reason I opted to purchase the disc was to have a back up in case something happened to my computer. Many thanks for your back up Enzo its been great, all I have to do now is learn how to play the instrument . Regards Peter M.
Hi Enzo
I am up and running and at 55 years of age I am amazed what is coming back to me. I am enjoying doing the exercises with you - really great. Even though the music will take a little doing for me, but I don't lie down when it comes to trying. Sometimes these mid life crisis can bring a little joy. Jimmy
Hi Enzo,
Congratulation for this fine work of your Accordion Course for Beginners E-Book. I enjoyed this course very much for its ease of use, it gave me an opportunity to develop skills I didn't know I could do. Time is pressures and again this course provided me with the freedom to learn at my pace. I want to spread the word of appreciation on your website for this excellent course offer of yours and thank you very much. I am very much interested to continue. Please inform me when your intermediate and advanced accordion courses -E-Books are available. I am looking forward to hear from you. Kind regards Rolf
Dear Enzo
I'm so excited - I just ordered your eBook and can't wait to download and try it out! I grew up with accordion music and I was so pleased when my sister in law lent me hers (after sitting in the closet for more than 25 years). I've been asking friends who are accomplished accordionists for pointers, but they only tell me to look in a mirror while playing... hmmm... so, I'm supposed to watch myself play with bad form? There's got to be more to it! Thanks again for offering this! Alison
Dear Enzo Giribaldi:
Thanks a lot for your e-mail and the download package. All is due to my mistake in writing out my e-mail address (which I have not used often)!! I never expected your reaction so fast!! Am showing a sign of age, I guess. Thank you once again, and with best regards, Takao
Dear Enzo,
I'm very impressed with the piano accordion course. What a terrific and innovative way of teaching .It's great to look at the videos to check if we're playing correctly. It's good how we can get such a close up view of your finger technique. I presume the course is similar to the way you teach your students but not necessarily with videos . I've had bit of experience playing the accordion and I'm glad I had been using the correct fingers for left hand . I just want to make sure I get my technique and timing correct, and also the correct use of the bellows . It's great that someone with your talent and experience has written the course and being Australian too. I was intrigued by your story about how you continued your studies with Maestro Dante Simonelli who had later emigrated to Australia too, that was a coincidence and certainly a bonus for you. It says a lot about Australia Thank you for your time. Yours Sincerely , Fraser
Hi Enzo,
Many thanks for the quick reply, I have saved these links for when I am more proficient. I have stared on the beginners Ebook and have found it excellent, Paul
Dear Master Enzo Sir,
Thank you very much for your help. With the new link you gave me, now I can download your eBook ! I am going to enjoy the book when I get home today! Thank you very much, kind Sir. You are great! Best regards from Malaysia = Mohdzin
Hi Enzo
Thank you very much for your prompt reply and being so helpful. I have installed the programs and am now just waiting for the cd to arrive and get started. I cant wait. Thank you also for your offer of communication by email. I will try not to impose on you too much but it is good to know that there is back up there if needed as I am a complete beginner. Thanks again. Regards Roy
