In Trek er es Uut 2018 we will take an approach to catalan tradicional music. We will learn melodies with an specífic dance, we will emphasize how to play music for dancing and also how to play a musical accompaniment with two hands. We will learn the music and we wil also learn the dance in order to play it better.
I am Víctor Pedrol from Barcelona. When I was a kid I played violin but I realy wanted to play drums.
Finaly, at sixteen years old I started with drums and percussions.
My aproach to music is through rithm so I play accordion like a drummer. I look for a good sonority and expression and I put an special focus to groove. That’s my way of playing and understanding music.
I started to play accordion at the age of 24. I knew folk and popular music before becouse I played it with percussions and fastly I became a folk-accordeonist.
I studied accordion with Carles Belda and Cati Plana at high school academy of Barcelona.
In 2009 I discovered Alexander Technique and I became teacher of AT after four years. That allowed me to improve my playing a lot.
I started with other accordionists the association of accordionist of catalan countries at 2005. It is called ‘la Diatònica’:
My reference band with accordion is the band Ameba.
We play folk dances and popular catalan music, you can see the website here:
