Accordion International Prize, Alcobaça - Portugalby Aníbal Freire |
 Aníbal Freire, President of the Alcobaça Accordion Association, writes:The 15th Accordion National Trophy and the 1st edition of the Accordion International Prize ‘Cidade de Alcobaça’ were a huge success, attracting young players from Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Serbia (Russia and Poland entrants were unable to come) for the competitions of this noble, erudite and, at same time, popular instrument. Once again, Alcobaça proved conclusively to be at the forefront of the best of music, particularly accordion, being able to call to these contests such a large number of participants: nationally, it was the most competitive of all time and internationally, it reached a very close level to the best international prizes around the world, not only regarding the number of competitors but also in which concerns their very highest artistic level. As always, the Associação De Acordeão De Alcobaça committed itself to placing Portugal and Alcobaça names in the memory of all who have visited us and participated in these events. Alcobaça and the accordion are holding hands now for 15 years; the world of the accordion will surely be grateful, always to the end, to Alcobaça – the Land of Passion.

Neil Fodden (1939-2010), Derbyshire – UKby Rob Howard |
 Neil Fodden, the Editor of the magazine ‘Accordion World’ passed away from a massive stroke on Tuesday April 27th 2010. Born in the North East in 1939, Neil Fodden began playing the piano accordion aged 10, and was soon playing with local bands in pubs, clubs and dance halls. In those days the acoustic music scene was quite vibrant, as the word ‘disco’ had not yet been invented. Neil’s forte was playing for ballroom and sequence dancing, and he became one of the first exponents of the electronic accordion. He recorded two LPs of dance music, ‘Stepping Out’ and ‘Stepping Out 2’, under the pseudonym Alan Neil. In the late 1960s Neil’s work as an engineer took him to live in Zambia, where he played for dances from Lusaka up to Kitwe, and also provided accompaniment for visiting artistes. For five years Neil served as Secretary of the National Accordion Organisation, and more recently, since February 2008, as Editor of the magazine ‘Accordion World’, in succession to the late David Keen. Neil is survived by wife Kath and daughter Karina. Karina Fodden, an accordionist and competitor in many NAO competitions, will take over the production of ‘Accordion World’, which will continue as before. Neil will be missed by accordionists and friends throughout the UK. R.I.P. |

Accordion Orchestra Course, Devon – UKby Rob Howard |
 An accordion orchestra course, aimed at players from elementary to advanced standard takes place from May 30th to June 3rd at the Ariel Centre, Ilfracombe, Devon. The tutors are Ian Watson and Julie North. Ian Watson writes: “Participants are always encouraged to play as much as possible but are free to sit out certain pieces or sections that might be too advanced - as yet! As this is really a completely new venture (moving to Devon), we are hoping that if any group/band could send 3/4 players then they could perform a pre-rehearsed piece in the concert. My group from Morley college will be there and the local band in Illfracombe will play a piece. There are loads of types of accommodation from camping to log cabins to 5* hotels within a 2 mile radius of the rehearsal venue”. For further information email: i.watson99@googlemail.com |

Queryby | Modify | Delete |
| Hi there, My name is Gini Parslow, and I’m a keen songwriter/musician. I’m wondering whether you could pass the following information on to your musical networks? Many thanks for your assistance, Kind regards, Gini Parslow FOR SONGWRITERS WHO WANT TO GET HEARD— AND GET TO THE NEXT LEVEL Hit songwriter/best selling author/music publisher Jason Blume will present two 2-day songwriting seminars in 2010, in conjunction with New Zealand Music Month. The Auckland seminar will be 22-23 May and Wellington, 29-30 May. Jason has just returned from presenting an acclaimed master class at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (founded by Sir Paul McCartney), and has taught for universities and top songwriting organisations throughout the world. He combines his skills as a consummate teacher with the practical tools he's developed as a mega-successful, multi-genre songwriter to inspire songwriters; help them develop both their craft and their business sense - and achieve their dreams. Jason’s songs are on albums that have sold more than 50 million copies. He’s one of only a few writers to ever have songs on Billboard’s Pop, R&B and Country charts – all at the same time! His songs have been recorded in virtually all genres – from hard rock, to Christian and folk, with plenty of R&B and pop in between. Artists who have recorded Jason’s songs include Britney Spears, the Gipsy Kings, Jesse McCartney, the Backstreet Boys, top US country stars including the Oak Ridge Boys, Collin Raye and John Berry, and superstars throughout Europe and Japan. His songs have featured on top TV shows including “Scrubs” and “Friday Night Lights”, as well as in top movies. Jason is also the author of three of the bestselling books on songwriting – all published by Billboard Books – and he is acknowledged as one of the top songwriting instructors in the world. Jason analyses current hits to distill what makes songs successful and passes that information onto his students. This is by no means a “paint by numbers” method, but one whereby he teaches songwriters how to communicate their unique, personal truths in universal ways that engage listeners. He has a natural gift for motivating and inspiring others, whatever their dream may be. At the 2009 Taxi Road Rally songwriting convention in LA, Jason’s classes were beyond packed – and spilling out into the hallways. His monthly BMI songwriting seminars in Nashville are so popular they've had songwriters in line at 3 AM! Three of Jason’s students have enjoyed No. 1 hits on USA Billboard charts, and Jason himself recently had a song on an EP that hit No. 1 in Japan. Jason receives a lot more teaching invites than he accepts. Fortunately for New Zealanders, Jason loves New Zealand. Also fortunate for us, while being an extremely successful songwriter and author, Jason has discovered that he has a passion for teaching. Blume will perform and be interviewed on "Breakfast", TV1, on Monday 17th. Register and pay before the end of April and get $25 off the usual price (this is on top of discounts available for APRA members, students and unwaged). Get a group of eight attendees together, and the organiser comes free, while the other attendees pay only $150 each (or $125 each if they register before the end of April!). For more information please contact Gini Parslow on 021590788 or email gini@actrix.co.nz. |
