Background information

 I built this site because I was looking for videos on learning to  play the button accordion. Because I was unable to find them anywhere, I made them myself. I have played the piano accordion for years and the melodeon for about a decade . My activities on the melodeon can be viewed on www.ggms.nl

I have developed this course with great pleasure and enthusiasm, initially to learn how to play the button accordion myself. Now that I play the instrument on an acceptable level , I’d love to share my knowledge with others. Do not expect technical feats or virtuous riffs , you can find enough of that on YouTube.

What I share are the first steps that each chromatic button accordion player will have to learn. I try to teach these through enjoyable small melodies. I hope to arouse your enthusiasm to practice, because practicing is most of the work, just practice and play in the living room especially playing with the button accordion . Until one day, almost automatically, your fingers will move to the buttons and a melody will sound .

 

Contributing to the development of this site

My life has been greatly enriched by playing bellow instruments. I hope other people will have the same experience.  For that reason, the video course is free to view.
There is, however, a lot of work in creating a website, videos , translations, etc. As well as many expenses in managing the site and owning a decent camera and instrument.
