How to Play the Accordion with the Right Hand

JUDE PARRY: On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Jude Parry. I'm with Gold Coast Theatre Company here in Miami Beach, and today we're going to be learning beginning accordion. Okay now we're going to go back to the right hand and if you look at the music, now instead of a black tadpole we've got a white tadpole and that means it's worth three notes. So, the way you can count it in your head is one hold it, two hold it, three hold it, four hold it, sound something like this, one hold it, two hold it, three hold it, four hold it, five hold it, six hold it, seven hold it, eight hold it; one hold it, two hold it, three hold it, four hold it, five hold it, six hold it, seven hold it, eight hold it. Okay you get the idea. So that's going to be tune that we're going to play as we go through the next part when I introduce the basses to you.
