Editorial Reviews

John Williams starts by teaching how to hold the accordion, detailing simple scales, bass notes, chords and arpeggios. You'll soon master scales in triplets, waltz rhythm, use of the air button, bass accompaniment, a variety of fingering techniques, and learn to add depth and color with use of the piping regulator style and the standard five-note roll. Songs: "Oró (Sé Do Bheatha Bhaile)," "Saddle The Pony," "Napoleon Crossing The Rhine," "Sporting Nellie," "Sally Gardens."

Note: This video explains the general logic of diatonic button accordions and the popular two-row accordion in B-C tuning specifically.
