Every resident of a big city knows firsthand what a lack of natural surroundings and fresh air is. The same applies to many food products: while the villagers have most of the vitamins in fresh vegetables and fruits at hand, the townspeople are more difficult in this matter - they have to buy everything, risking nitrates and other not very useful additives. Therefore, of course, everything that can be grown independently is better - it is cheaper, more environmentally friendly, and healthier. The short video presented on our website is dedicated to this issue.

One of the most important events in the life of every young girl is, of course, the graduation party at school. This event marks the end of an entire school era and is a kind of "bridge" to adulthood. In addition, this is one of the few holidays when you can give free rein to your imagination in choosing an outfit and turn into a real princess for your family and classmates for at least one evening. And, of course, what prom night is complete without a prom dress? It is to him that our lesson is dedicated.

Thanks to this video lesson "How to choose a prom dress", future graduates, as well as their mothers, grandmothers and girlfriends, will be able to familiarize themselves with the recommendations of leading stylists on what factors should be taken into account when choosing a prom dress and what rules should be followed. It's no secret that many young ladies begin to think about choosing an outfit for a prom long before the event itself - sometimes even a year in advance. There is no single point of view on what a prom dress should be, because all girls are different, each has its own style, character and appearance. Therefore, it is extremely important not only to blindly follow fashion trends, but to try to make the graduation dress harmonize with the personality of the graduate, reflect her individuality and emphasize her external dignity. Many girls prefer to follow traditional rules in choosing a dress - they choose pastel colors, light fabrics, and feminine silhouettes. Of course, this is already a classic, so such outfits will always be appropriate at the prom. However, if a girl wants to show off originality, then it is quite possible to be creative - to choose more unusual colors and styles. As a rule, black is considered undesirable - it may turn out to be too heavy and gloomy for a young girl during the prom.
How to choose a dress for your figure
We hope that this video tutorial will help each of our spectators make the right choice in favor of the most beautiful and stylish prom dress that will make the girl feel like a true lady.

It is no secret that human health is the most important thing, therefore, you need to start taking care of your own health and your body from a very early age. As they say, many diseases are much easier to prevent in time than to cure later, when the disease has already begun to develop intensively.
High-quality medical services are in demand everywhere and always: both a thousand years ago and now. It is well known that the profession of Aesculapius does not tolerate unprofessionalism and amateurishness, therefore, one should seek medical help only from highly qualified specialists. Otherwise, poor-quality medical care may not only fail to bring the desired improvement, but, on the contrary, further aggravate the situation and harm health.
Today, the services of large medical centers of a wide profile, the so-called family medical centers (or clinics), are extremely in demand, in which high-quality medical services will be provided to all family members: both adults and children.
Among the many advantages of such medical centers, I would like to highlight the following:
- Extremely high quality of the offered medical services. The entire staff of a large center - from the head physician to the nurse - is highly qualified, rich in practical experience and an impeccable reputation, therefore, specialists of this kind of medical institutions successfully cope with even the most difficult tasks;
- Versatility. Clients of the aforementioned family-type private clinics can safely apply here with diseases of a wide variety of profiles - from therapeutic to gynecological. At the same time, an integrated approach to each patient is provided, his previous complaints and appeals are taken into account.
- Comfort. One of the main disadvantages of public hospitals - the lack of the necessary amenities for comfortable treatment - has been completely eliminated in private medical institutions. Both outpatients and inpatients can be in pleasant conditions and enjoy all the necessary amenities.
- Availability of the most modern medical equipment;
- Reasonable pricing policy, fixed cost of services and the absence of any fees, additional payments and demands for "gratitude" in envelopes, which are constantly faced by the patients of the so-called "free" polyclinics.
All of the above advantages are fully possessed by the well-known German-Ukrainian medical center Aurora, which offers all comers top-class medical services, consultations and assistance of highly qualified world-class specialists.

The violin is a wonderful musical instrument that has won millions of hearts thanks to its lyrical sound. However, violinists (both beginners and professionals) are well aware that the violin not only has a delicate and fragile sound. It is also in itself a rather whimsical tool that requires a special approach and care.
First of all, it is worth protecting the violin from direct sunlight in order to avoid drying out. Under no circumstances should this musical instrument be left under the scorching sun. The same applies to severe frosts: the violin generally does not like significant temperature changes, so you need to try to maintain a favorable temperature regime in the place where the instrument is stored. Remember not to leave the violin near open sources of heat: fireplaces, heaters, stoves, etc.
Second, no less important advice: the violinist must constantly monitor the humidity level in the environment where the violin is stored. This musical instrument does not like excessive moisture, because it makes the wood damp, perhaps even the appearance of mold, or too dry air, because in the latter case, cracks and other damage may appear on the wood - and the instrument will become completely unusable. Experts recommend maintaining an optimal humidity level in the room at 45-60 percent.
It is also a vital duty of the violinist to regularly clean the instrument, which should preferably be cleaned and wiped down after each use. Do not neglect this duty in order to avoid the appearance of dirt, scuffs and other unpleasant traces of use on the violin body. To avoid this, we suggest using online stores, for example,
However, even if he fully observes all the basic recommendations for the care of the violin, its owner is not insured against damage to the instrument. As a result of natural wear and tear (if the violin was used for a sufficiently long period of time), and as a result of some unforeseen accidents (impacts, falls, other mechanical damage).
If such troubles occur, you need not hesitate, but turn to a qualified violin maker, who can offer an extensive range of instrument repair services - from changing strings to restoring the varnish.

If as a child you graduated from music school, and you know musical notation. More suitable for you Option 1 or Option 2
However, due to employment, an adult cannot afford 5 years, 2 hours a day engage in children's music school... Unfortunately, he has no time to master musical notation. A the song begs to sing it. Therefore, for an amateur, they are suitable Option 3 and Option 4.
Beginners accordionists prefer Option 4. You can immediately without listening play and learn the song by numbers. You only need to memorize 25 keys of the right keyboard and 25 more keys of the left keyboard. What are the only tricks not undertaken for memorizing numbers 50 keys... Up to painting the keys with multi-colored nail polishes.
And how will digitalists memorize more than 200 keys on the button accordion or accordion? Therefore, who desires music without notes choose Harmony... because fewer keys.
Meanwhile playing by ear is easier than in numbers. And is suitable for button accordion and accordion. And the most important thing. No need to relearn on accordion from digitizer to music notary. You can go straight to sheet music.

So as not to load the player with anything other than music, there are no notes in the picture (A minor and E) There is only bass 6, chord m and reference sound 3 During the training, the authors determined that the designation of notes by numbers is perceived better than the letter
The blind auditory method is correct. And we must strive for it. However, for beginners, it can be difficult.
Put a novice accordion player behind an unmarked keyboard with twenty-five white keys in two rows. It's like throwing a man out of a boat in the middle of a river, hoping that he doesn't drown, but learns to swim.
Therefore, in the first 1 - 3 months of training you can mark the right keyboard. As you learn it is better to remove the markup... Not to be dependent on markup. And play freely on any unlabeled tool e
It is important to follow the principles when marking up.
- Select all means select nothing
- Mark by the sounds of the octave
- No colors, just black and white markings
Black keys.
- Sharps
- Octave sounds Salt La Si
Good luck in mastering a musical instrument.

Since ancient times, the Russian folk instrument has been an attribute of holidays, fun, and warm, friendly evenings. The exact history of the accordion is unknown. No one can say for sure where and by whom it was invented. However, it is widely believed that the accordion comes from Germany and was born in the early 19th century. There is also an opinion that the accordion first appeared in Russia, namely in St. Petersburg, in the 18th century. An interesting fact is that during the Great Patriotic War, accordions were also massively sent to the front, among ammunition and provisions, to maintain the morale of the population. It was at this time that the accordion gained its wide popularity in Russia, becoming a favorite musical instrument of many people. At this time, many author's songs appeared, which were performed specifically to the accordion.
- First, you should familiarize yourself with the structure of this instrument. It is small in size, compact and easy to transport. The harmony consists of a right and left half-body, each of which contains keys or a keyboard with buttons. The musician needs to play with both hands, simultaneously squeezing or unclenching the accordion and pressing the keys or buttons. The main melody is played on the right keyboard, and the left is for accompaniment. The design between the keyboards is called a fur chamber. It is designed to pump air to the sound bars of the accordion.
- It is useful to know that accordions can have a certain key (major or minor).
- There are two types of Russian accordions, depending on the type of sound extraction: there are accordions on which, when the bellows are stretched and compressed, the button gives the same sound. In other accordions, the pitch can change depending on the position and movement of the bellows.
- For the successful mastering of playing the accordion, it is worth intensively developing an ear for music and a sense of rhythm. A musician is simply obliged to hear and feel the music he plays.
- It is better to start learning to play the accordion from the very basics: the position of the accordion player during the game. Until now, there is no consensus on this matter. Many tutorials suggest using the same posture as accordion players. However, most professional musicians believe that you should not mix up the accordion and button accordion techniques. The main thing is that the position would be comfortable for the accordion player himself. The most common pose looks like this: the accordion is placed with fur on the left thigh, the neck of the right half-body rests on the thigh of the right leg, and the left hand stretches the fur. At the same time, the instrument is either firmly pressed against the body, or moves slightly forward.
- Special shoulder straps are provided in the accordion, which are used to give the harmony reliability and stability. During seated play, one shoulder strap is sufficient. If the musician puts on both, they must be carefully adjusted so that the accordion does not hang, but rests on the thigh.
- It is worth paying great attention to the position of the hands. The video shows in detail how to hold your hands while playing the accordion.
These tips, combined with a training video that clearly and in detail shows the basic principles of playing the accordion, will help beginners master the game on this beautiful musical instrument. You should not study only from lessons or books, an important part of the lesson is improvisation, your own musical searches and experiments. Good luck!
The 21st century is in the yard, and the vociferous accordion, like many years ago, pleases us with its iridescent, perky melodies. And the lingering melody performed on the accordion will not leave indifferent any listener. Independent learning to play the harmonica is available to everyone who loves its sound and really wants to play music on this instrument.
For amateurs, several methods of mastering the accordion have been fixed. And therefore, the first thing that needs to be decided at the initial stage of training is what methodology to adhere to.
The first way is learning "by hand"
The first method of learning to play the harmonica is actually built on watching the video lessons of experienced masters, observing their play from the side, and relying on your ear for music. It consists in the fact that, bypassing the stage of studying musical notation, proceed immediately to playing the instrument. This option is suitable for lovers of folk music who have never studied professionally, but are naturally endowed with good musical data.
In this case, by the way, by the way, there will be recordings of authoritative performers in video format, their training video materials. In addition, audio songs and tunes are useful for selecting tunes by ear. And you can master playing the instrument from the notes later, when many technical issues have already been resolved.
Watch the video tutorial by Pavel Ukhanov:
The second way is traditional
The second way of teaching is the most fundamental and traditional, but also more interesting and more effective. And here, of course, you cannot do without self-instruction manuals and musical collections for beginner accordionists and accordion players. At the beginning of this journey, you will get acquainted with the stave and its inhabitants, as well as with the rhythm and durations. It turns out to be much easier to master the musical literacy in practice than many imagine. Most importantly, do not despair!
If you are not familiar with sheet music, self-instruction manuals from such authors as Londonov, Bazhilin, Tyshkevich will come to your aid. In addition, from our site you can get an excellent gift (given to everyone)!
Both of the above options for learning to play the harmonica, with regular and meaningful practice, will give a good result. The speed of training, of course, depends on your ability, the amount and quality of training. Well, if you use both methods, having planned their harmonious combination in advance, then the result will not be long in coming.
The rules of the beginner accordionist
- Consistency in classes is the most important rule of any musician. Even if you devote only 10-15 minutes a day to mastering the harmonica, then distribute these small lessons of playing evenly throughout the week. It is better if classes are held every day.
- Try to master the entire learning technology slowly, but correctly from the very beginning, without postponing the observance of the rules until later ("later" may not come due to the fact that something will stop coming out). If you are not sure about anything, look for the answer to your question in books, the Internet, or from a musician you know. Otherwise, act independently and boldly!
- The first exercise that you need to learn on the instrument is the scale in C major, even if you master the game by ear, and not by notes, it is imperative to train on the scales. Vary them by playing the scale up and down with different strokes (abrupt and coherent). Playing scales will enhance your technique: speed of execution, coherence, control of the fur, etc.
- During execution, lead the fur smoothly, do not jerk, do not stretch to the end, leaving a margin.
- When learning a scale or melody on the right keyboard, use all your fingers at once, choosing the convenient options, and not one or two, since you simply cannot play at a fast pace with one finger.
- Since you are mastering the accordion without a mentor, it will be good to watch your performance in the recording in order to see the playing from the side and correct mistakes.
- Hear many harmonica songs and tunes. This will give expressiveness to your playing, will help to correctly build musical phrases.
Well, that's probably all for a start. Go for it! Inspire yourself by listening to popular artists and perky tunes! Work daily, and the results of your labors will be songs that will undoubtedly delight your family and friends, gathered at the family table!
It is difficult to study, and it is even more difficult to start learning musical notation when not young. I would like to quickly, and maybe not in full, but sufficient to play, to understand what is written on the staff.
The teaching methods in the music school are effective, no doubt, but they are designed for a long, gradual study of the material, for the psychology of the child. And they only work when there is a teacher who submits the material, controls the assimilation, and corrects mistakes. In addition, an experienced teacher takes into account the psychological characteristics of the student and will find an individual approach. I am engaged in self-education, and textbooks for music schools and colleges do not suit me, but they are a very useful reference material. We must look for something else.
Self-instruction manuals for accordion: P. Londonov, R. Bazhilin, G. Tyshkevich, as well as self-instruction manuals for playing the accordion by these and other authors were not effective for me. Probably they didn’t fit me psychologically. The purpose of the lesson-lesson is not written, what should be achieved in this lesson? How to control? Notational literacy is given crumpledly, in some snatches. An integral, interconnected system is not created.
I understand and learn better when we follow the scheme: this is the task, and to solve it you need to take such steps. And the diagram: let's do or learn this (I immediately have a question, why?), Then this, etc., and for a long time everything, boringly, without explanation - why. And then, oh shit, it's done. This scheme does not suit me.
I covered myself with books on musical literacy and solfeggio, went to the Internet, began to learn notes, duration, intervals, keys, frets, chords and their inversions, etc. Something, of course, I learned and remembered. All this is necessary, but I can't sight-play the accordion. I'm not doing something right. I thought about the goal and methods of achieving it.
And that's what I realized.
The main tasks, at the first stage:
1. to establish a connection with the image of the note on the staff and the corresponding accordion key. Clear, stable communication.
And the name of the note is secondary, it will come in handy later. Yes, I don't call them differently, here (do-re-mi) or in Europe (C-D-E). (Moreover, the exercises that I used allow you to do this automatically along the way.)
2. duration of notes. It is necessary to clearly learn it and be able to perform it. The matter is not difficult, and this will also be automatically solved in the same exercises as the first task.
Of these two points: note and duration, in general, that is what playing the accordion (and other musical instruments) consists of, everything else is also important, but these are secondary tasks.
I started looking for suitable exercises, found them, tried them. And everything turned out to be very simple - the usual range of DO-MAJOR - do-re-mi, etc. So I have neither invented nor invented anything new.
Everything begins with this scale, in any tutorial it is written - play the scale - and that's it. And everyone misses her, everything is clear, what is there to play that, not a small child, after all. I tried a bunch of ways to learn the notes as quickly as possible and learn how to extract them from the accordion, and, oddly enough, this primitive scale turned out to be the best.
I'll just now describe in more detail the methodology of my own with exercises based on this simple scale. Many words will be written in order to get the most out of this simple thing.
What will it give?
You can learn to play sheet music in two or three days.
Of course, at first it was like a first grader: syllables, slowly, without expression. But after a very short time, both fluency and expressiveness developed.
This is distance learning, there is no teacher who would supervise you (noticed mistakes, their reasons and ways of correcting them). You are a teacher, you are also a controller. Therefore, it is important to understand the purpose of the exercise and the methods for achieving it (goal) for self-control. Deceiving, formally performing the exercise, you can only yourself. Do you need this?
It is well known that a skill is a skill acquired by exercise, that is, repeated repetition, which is based on the theory of the formation and consolidation of a conditioned reflex (in this case, a visual-auditory-motor).
The task is to form and consolidate a skill, that is, to form a system of neural connections (dynamic stereotype), which is a reflection in the brain of real connections (note - location on the staff and finger movements - pressing the desired key)
I will describe the process of forming and developing a technical skill. Therefore, it is necessary first of all to understand the mechanism of this process.
Begin
Preparatory steps:
On the right is a picture of the right accordion keyboard - as if through a transparent accordion neck (mirror reflection), 12 buttons closer to the fur, 13 buttons farther from the fur. I printed and put this picture in front of me. After playing a little, I removed it.
By the way: the notes written on the line are located on the keyboard row farthest from the fur, and between the lines - on the keyboard row closer to the fur
I first glued pieces of scotch tape on the keys of notes up to 1, 2 and 3 octaves, in order to correctly, by touch, find these keys. Then you can rip it off.
I looked at the arrangement of the notes, peeked at first, playing the scale 2-3 times, then I did not do it.
In order to sit down with the accordion more conveniently, and not in front of the computer, I printed the scale (it is imperative to look at the notes).
I sat down and took the accordion correctly (as they teach in self-study guides), it is better to beat off the rhythm with the right foot, I did this (at the same time, an even rhythm will be developed).
I also used a metronome. The device is old, musicians use it, but for some reason accordionists do not. There is a heated debate on the Internet whether it is needed or not. But I think it was not fools who invented it and have been using it for two hundred years.
1. Day one
How the scale was played:
slowly, and for each kick of the leg (counting "times", but you do not need to say it out loud) and at the same time;
1. examined the note (remembered its location);
2. pronounced the name of the note aloud (memorized the name of the note);
3. and at the same time pressed the desired button ("fingers" memorized the location of the button for the note);
4. move on to the next note;
A pace of play is needed that would ensure the unity of consciousness and action.
"Mantra" for this scale:
do - re - mi - fa - sol - la - si - la - sol - fa - mi - re - do
As a result of repeated repetition, this goal is achieved, but provided that the game is played without errors.
Hence the conclusion: to play fast, you have to play slowly.
A slow pace is a prerequisite for accuracy, which in turn allows for a gradual increase in the speed of the game. After all, the formation and consolidation of a technical skill does not consist in training fingers, but in training nervous processes that determine the formation of a dynamic stereotype and a reduction in the time of a reflex response, which determines the speed of the game.
On the first day, I played for an hour and a half, but without mistakes. If I played longer, I would start making mistakes, regardless of the speed.
By the way At school, when I was asked to learn a poem, I studied it all evening - but I could not remember it, and in the morning I recited it easily, without hesitation. Therefore, I did not do the exercises for long, tk. no matter how much I repeated, I was still mistaken.
The activity is not fun for, but necessary.
My mistake at this stage:
Scrolling through and looking at the notes for the accordion, I noticed that basically the notes lie within 5 lines of the staff, i.e. the first octave and the first half of the notes of the second octave. At the first stage of mastering the playing of notes, I paid more attention to this section (I wanted to quickly), and now I have difficulties if I have to play notes of the third octave.
