Episode 45: Featuring Samuel AKA the Accordion Prodigy

Italians love the piano accordion, you hear the piano accordion, you hear Italy! So how great is it to know we have a very talented young piano accordion player right here in Perth. We were so happy to have Samuel and his mother Marina join us for a chat. Samuel is just 8 years old and we loved hearing the story of him choosing the learn the piano accordion, just like his Nonno. Josie was thrilled to get a live show in her living room. Samuel’s interest and pride in his Italian heritage is easy to see as he told about his love of cars, gave us a phrase in Italian and told us about how he enjoys both preparing and olives. And don’t forget about Mum- Marina is a long time Italian teacher and we also thoroughly enjoyed hearing about her experiences and her passion for passion on traditions and the language to the next generation.
