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, so now you know how to play the bass keyboard and the treble keyboard together. A very simple pattern one hold it, two hold it, while holding one of these down. Now, we're going to move that--I chose to do single notes in other words little black tadpoles. Now we're going to go to another tune which will include a combination of black tadpoles and white tadpoles. So obviously it's one-two-three, one-two-three, one-two-three, one, and the one is in your head you'll say "one hold it" 'cause it's worth three.
