| | Accordion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | An accordion is a musical instrument of the handheld bellows-driven free reed aerophone family, sometimes referred to as squeezeboxes. | | | He is credited with making the first recordings of the instrument in 1908, making the first radio broadcast of the accordion in 1921 and the first sound motion picture featuring the accordion, for Vitaphone, in 1928. | | | Beginning in the 1960s, competitive performance on the accordion of classical piano compositions, by the great masters of music, occurred. |

| | How to Choose a Diatonic Button Accordion |
| | An instrument like a piano accordion can play all types of music equally well, but it is not as easy to learn and it will never be as good as a button accordion at playing toe-tapping folk dance tunes. | | | Serious music is not always good music, and fun music need not be bad music. | | | They are what seperates the button box from a piano accordion. |

| | The Session: Discussions - Button Accordion Method |
| | Seems to me that notations like meowguy described would be good for teaching a tune to someone who wants to learn a tune without learning the instrument. | | | Find other common intervals in the keys of D and G (thirds, fourths, fifths and sixths) and practice playing them (but most importantly get used to how they sound). | | | Once you know your way around the buttons and the bellows, when you hear a tune or see standard music notation (assuming you read it already), you'll have some idea of where the notes are going to fall under your fingers and which way to move the bellows. |
