John Lettieri Music

This broadcast show shares ideas about chords and harmony, encouraging all musicians to study and practice solid chords, and broken chords, all the inversions (different potential voicings), and in all keys.  In addition, inviting all musicians to learn to read chord symbols, and explore / discover how extensions and added tensions will enhance the colour of a chord (harmony).  Then, you will hear my newly composed Jazzy-sounding piece of music, performed and recorded by me this week, entitled:  Let's be charming.  I play the Roland V-Accordion and include a drum-sounding rhythmic background available from the Roland Drum Machine.

This particular show shares my approach to composing music.  Then, you will hear a new piece of accordion music, composed, performed and recorded by me this week, dedicated to my Grandson, who arrived four weeks ago, entitled:  Leonardo.

This show #24 offers some thoughts about artists, particularly musicians, who communicate and share feelings about life's journey.  A new piece of music, composed, performed and recorded this week, will follow, entitled:  Keep Moving.  I use the Roland Digital V-Accordion in this recorded performance.

We need artists, scientists, thinkers, athletes, and other innovators to offer new ideas to explore and discover, so that we can continue to move forward.  This show does add-on to the previous show #22, the importance of developing a music library.  After I speak, I offer a new solo piece of Accordion music, created, performed and recorded by me this week, entitled:  Moving Forward.

A Printed Music Library of your own is a valuable resource for a musician to reference.  A good Collection of Repertoire, and technical method books, is needed to sight-read, study and research.  This treasure of printed music will help to guide a musician to develop and grow as a performing artist.  Then, listen to a new piece, composed, performed and recorded by me this week, entitled:  Simple Tango.

This Broadcast is about the importance artists dedicate to producing a well-shaped, full & rich sound.  The new Accordion Solo piece, I composed, performing the Roland Digital 7X V-Accordion, recorded this week, entitled:  Reflection.

This Show shares feelings about the Pandemic and how music can be a powerful way to help us to better cope with this new challenge; and how music can also help us to heal together.  The piece of music composed, performed by me and recorded this week is entitled:  Pandemic Shock.

This broadcast shares my experiences with electronic accordions, including the Iorio Electronic Accordion, and the Roland Digital V-Accordion, model 7X.  In addition, I include some opinion about new technology.  This week's show includes my new composition, performed and recorded by me using the Roland V-Accordion, 7X model, entitled:  Relaxing Summer Vibe.

This Broadcast Show presents ideas about "Noodling", and how this mysterious, creative exploration or experimentation can help to have an amazing impact on your playing and learning.  This segment is followed by the playing of a new Accordion solo piece, composed, performed and recorded by me, entitled:  The Chase.

This broadcast offers ideas about the theme of "balance";  not only in Accordion-playing, but also an increased awareness of achieving "balance" in life, from my perspective.  A new piece of Accordion Solo Music follows, entitled:  Hot Climate Journey.
