Sample Lesson Notations Numbers written like this 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Push the bellows (IN) together. Numbers written like this 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Pull the bellows (OUT) apart. Positioning your accordion. Place your left hand in the strap, place your right thumb in the thumb strap, index finger on button 3, 2nd. on 4, 3rd. on 5 and little finger on button 6. Keep your fingers on these buttons. Eg: Little finger plays the number 6 button. Place the accordion on your left lap with the bellows just to the left of your thigh. Resting the bellows on the thigh will cause extra wear of the bellows and lessen the control of the instrument. After getting acquainted with holding the accordion you can proceed. NOTE: The scales on outside rows (keys of G and A) of the three row accordions, GCF and ADG, start on the 2nd. button from the top. Just pretend that the 2nd. button is the 3rd. Major Scales Singing notes: So Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do Button Numbers: 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 Now let's try a scale exercise. With your hands, fingers and accordion properly in place open the bellows. Remembering the notations let's play the lower scales, buttons 3 to 6. How To Play The Scales. Do push 3, Re pull 3, Mi push 4, Fa pull 4, So Push 5, La Pull 5, Ti Pull 6 Do Push 6 When comfortable with playing from the Do push 3 line play from the major scales above. Play the Scales from buttons 3 to 6 then continue playing back from 6 to 3. When you can play the Lower Scales forward and back six times in a row without making a mistake then you are ready to play the nursery rhymes. Twinkle Twinkle First & Second Line Push 3 Push 3 Push 5 Push 5 Pull 5 Pull 5 Push 5 Twin - kle Twin - kle lit - le star Pull 4 Pull 4 Push 4 Push 4 Pull 3 Pull 3 Push 3 How I won - der what you are When you can play these two lines six times in a row without making a mistake then try London Bridge. London Bridge 5 5 5 4 4 4 5 Lon - don Bridge is fal - ling down 3 4 4 4 4 5 Fal - ling Down Fal - ling down 5 5 5 4 4 4 5 Lon - don Bridge is fal - ling down 3 5 4 3 My fair la - dy Six times, no mistakes rule again. So Long (It's Been Good To Know You) Chorus: First and Second line // 4 4 / 5 - - / 4 - - / 5 5 5 / 5 5 4 / And it's so long, it's been good to know yuh! / 4 - - / 3 - - / 5 5 5 / 5 5 4 / So Long, It's been good to know yuh! With a lot of IN notes in this tune you may find that the bellows is running out of air. Correct use of the air button is one of the basic elements covered in our Manual, "Learnin' The Button Accordion With Cds." Please feel free to view our manual and books in our store.
