How to Practice the Accordion

JUDE PARRY: On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Jude Parry. I'm with Gold Coast Theater Company here in Miami Beach, and today we're going to be learning beginning accordion. Okay, we're now going to move to another length of note. I hope you've been practicing. I'm not just going to give you these 1-minute tutorials and expect you to pick it all up in one go. You have to keep practicing. And here's another way to start practicing. We're going to use a couple of notes here. This is a two note and a one note. And so, we're going to do a mixture of these notes, and the one with a dot after it means it's worth three notes. So we're going to do two and one means three notes. So it goes--the name of the tune "Merrily, We Play Along," which is very cute, and we do it like this. And I went from C to G, as you noticed.
