How to Play the Accordion

Place the straps over your shoulders and adjust accordingly. Play the keyboard with the right hand. The black keys are the sharps and flats. The white keys are the notes. The left hand should play the bass.

The most used buttons here are E fundamental, A flat fundamental bass and C fundamental. For the bass, use the ring finger, the middle finger for the chords and index finger for other chords. Expand and compress the instrument to adjust the sounds.

The accordion dimensions and the number of keys will determine the sounds of the instrument. If you want to play the instrument seriously, you need to pick a good quality accordion, and take music lessons as well.
