Is there any user-friendly free tutorial on playing the piano accordion? I have an instrument on loan and what I’m mainly looking for is guidance on the motion of the bellows.
Thanks!
You could try asking this lady for tips: http://boxteacher.blogspot.com/
Thank you! That’s exactly what I was looking for.
That accordion: I’m in love. sigh
If you have the time and money you could get an Irish piano accordion DVD tutorial from MadforTrad. I think the button box sells it!
Cheers!
Nate
are you still in Chicago? look up Jimmy Keane!
Jimmy Keane is my hero! Lessons with him are definitely on my list, but I wanted to 1) get an accordion of my own, and 2) have at least a remote clue how the left hand works before presenting myself at the feet of the god.
The first time I heard him was at John Daly’s CD release concert a few years ago and I sat “bolt upright” as soon as he started playing, agape in the most wonderful way.
Thanks, rh, and thanks, Mr. Nate, for the suggestion.
