Learn the Proper Placement for Your Right & Left Hand on the Accordion

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. So now we're going to put both of them together, the right hand is going to play one, three, five, three, and the left hand is going to do one hold it, two hold it, three hold it, four hold it. I'm going to play them together at the same time as pushing the bellows and pulling it in and out just like this. A nice waltz to you know what they call 3/4 time using both the treble keyboard and the bass keyboard to start playing because you're almost ready to start playing the accordion. You're going to be a player before too very long, just practice that's all I suggest. Practice makes perfect, and the accordion is a beautiful instrument to practice on.
