 Enzo
began learning to play the accordion from the age of five
years old from the local parish priest in a small northern
Italian town. He soon was introduced to formal lessons from
Maestro Carlo Ferrero.
Enzo
won his first competition when he was six years old. At the
age of nine years old his family emigrated to Australia where
he continued his studies with a German teacher, Otto Weiss
located in Sydney.
At
the age of 17 years old he continued his studies with Maestro
Dante Simonelli who had also emigrated to Australia. Maestro
Simonelli had produced Italian and World Champions and under
his tutoring Enzo improved immensely, so much so that he was
destined to become one of the best accordionists in Australia.
Maestro
Simonelli was not only a great teacher of accordion but was
himself a world class accordionist who was a close friend
of the great Gervasio Marcosignori. Enzo was fortunate to
have met Marcosignori during his frequent tours of Australia
and in fact was invited by Marcosignori to take part in the
tour as a support artist.
Aged
twenty, Enzo began to teach accordion under the supervision
of Maestro Simonelli. During this time Enzo had been playing
in Australia’s largest Italian club, Club Marconi with
his quartet. Enzo also completed a Theory of Music course
at the Conservatorium of Music - Sydney.
Aged
twenty four Enzo opened his first music school and in a short
time he had a total of four music schools with twenty two
teachers working for him teaching about 600 students of which
about half were learning the accordion. During this time Enzo
produced local, state and Australian champions.
The
reason for his teaching success was that Enzo invented new
teaching techniques which helped his students learn quicker
and at the same time making the learning experience pleasant
and enjoyable. He basically broke away from traditional teaching
which was too stringent and lacked the "fun" in
learning an instrument.
To
list all his achievements would be too lengthy, but one achievement
Enzo is very proud of is that his dance band was nominated
for Australia’s most prestigious award, (The Australian
Entertainment ‘MO’ Awards) in the category of "Best
Accompanying Band Category" no less than SIX times in
consecutive years, winning the award TWICE! What was special
about Enzo’s win was that no other band before or since
had won the award with an ACCORDIONIST as the band leader!
Enzo
Giribaldi’s "Accordion Course for Beginners"
is to our knowledge, the only accordion eBook available today!
In
this book Enzo puts his immense experience in teaching and
playing the accordion to the fore.
Unlike
other authors, Enzo can be heard playing the exercises and
also includes some of his favorite tunes for the student to
listen to. This is both designed to inspire students and also
to reinforce the ability and credibility of the author.
