Bellowspeak- accordion basics piece by piece is a 16-movement suite for solo accordion designed for children and young musicians. Progressing in technical difficulty, it presents and charts one possible pathway to teaching the accordion; in the concluding movement, the range of playing techniques and expression used is much broader than at the beginning. Indeed, the piece begins with an extremely limited toolkit including only four pitches. Bellowspeak is intended to introduce young musicians to the ways and means of contemporary music in a natural way, as part of day-to-day music-making.
