Just to keep everyone informed. Over the next few days I will be adding, deleting and overhauling the site: davetrial.tripod.com/I am happy to have gotten some of the translations up. I intend to add an in depth tutorial for the Señor Maestro program. If I had a buck for every time I have explained that program to someone, I would be playing a second accordion right now. Also planned, sound bites and MP3s to correspond to the with the tabs. Any suggestions or contributions would be most appreciated. Stay tuned. Stoney |

I have re-ordered the material on the main site: davetrial.tripod.com/ and have added the mother of all Señor Maestro tutorials. If only I had a dollar for every time someone asked me how to use that program. I would have more than one accordion. Watch for some new stuff and changes to the existing stuff. Stoney |

Sound files added to site. Due to limited space there are only two file so far. Tigres del norte Contrabando y Traicion and Pedro y Pablo. (I just tabbed that one yesterday)
So I may rotate the sound files or get more space.
Enjoy.

Here is something that I am working on that is what every accordion player and musician needs to know.
If you go to the ear training page you will now find MIDI sound files that illustrate the difference between the intervals.
If you can recognize the intervals by ear and name them, counting the notes (intervals) between any two notes, you will develop perfect pitch and will see a great improvement in your playing.
This will take a few days to finish.
Thanks,
Stoney

Here is another new feature. (Stoney says while patting himself on the back for a job well done)
On top of the "Ear Training" page there is a new link to the Ear Training test.
Listen to the interval. Choose the interval from the drop down menu.
Check how well you did.
Look for more of these in the future. (They are not easy to create)
Obviously, there are better programs on the market to study this. My idea here is to inspire you to USE one of those programs. Imagine if you could just hear two notes and name the interval automatically. Wouldn't that mean that you would be able to play anything?

Here is something new.
I have just re-done the page that reads:
Finding the song key.
I think the new version is a better explanation.
I have noticed numerous tabs that don't include the key of the song. Is that because the accordionist can't figure out what key it is in?
No critisism meant but how do you jam a tune when you don't know what key to tell the rest of the players to play in? Creates a bit of a problem. And if you want to enlarge your vocabulary of usefull melodies in case of the need for creating your own parts for improvisation or songwriting, how does anyone know what will work where if you don't know the key of the chord you are playing over?
There are some folks that just do this stuff au natural. The rest of us look for the key.
Hope the page is usefull to someone.

Hey que onda como estamos? yo pues aqui leyendo. Para la raza que esta leyendo esto del ear training, dejenme decirles que es una muy buena idea, el reconocer los intervales te ayuda para reconocer en que escala estan las rolitas. Uno de los Tricks es escuchar siempre la nota que lleva el bass, en que nota comienza y que nota termina por lo regular esa es la nota tonic la cual es la base de la escala. Hechenle ganas vayan a las secciones de theory que si sabes todo eso te hara un buen musico. "el que sabe sabe"
