How to Play Button Accordion • Volume 2
$14.95
In How to Play Button Accordion • Volume 1, you learned the basic techniques of playing the one-row Italian-style squeezebox; playing in first position, two bellow directions, left-hand accompaniment, and playing in second position.
We learned the pitches from low sol up to do, more than an octave higher. We learned to play bass and chords together as well as separately, including alternating basses. We learned some solo passages in the left hand and played two dozen different pieces including bugle calls, nursery rhymes, and folk tunes from many nationalities including a well-known classic from Stephen Foster.
In Volume 2, Henry will teach you the third, fourth, fifth and sixth positions; essentially acquainting you with the entire range of the one-row button-accordion from low sol to high mi: a span of twenty different pitches, including two sharps or two flats.

With these additional notes you will be able to play more complex music, such as elaborate folk music from the United States, Scotland, Germany, Ireland, Italy and Israel.
This volume also includes Patriotic tunes, beloved Christian hymns, Polkas and a few popular Christmas carols. Although the ability to read music is not required to study this method book, it would be helpful, if only to be able to readily discern when to change right hand positions. As the music becomes more complex, hand positions change more frequently.
