The action research documented here is based on scientifically based psycho-pedagogical issues and on the modern conception of the accordion and concerns courses and workshops aimed at children aged four to seven, in different educational contexts. Objectives, contents, methodology, musical materials and results will be presented, also through audio and video documents. The conference also includes a conversation with the audience.
