How do you play the accordion?

Playing the Accordion is an enjoyable experience and with proper tuition and practise it is very achievable. In order to play this instrument well, it is advisable that you book accordion lessons. Having an accordion tutor definitely speeds up the learning process as they would give you feedback on your good and bad points thus guiding you in the right direction. To start playing the accordion open the bellows straps, both top and bottom. Slide your right arm through the right-hand strap and your left arm through the bass strap. Press a button and pull the bellows outwards at the same time. Now press this same button again but push the bellows inwards. You will hear a different note is you are playing a diatonic accordion whereas chromatic accordions play the same note regardless of the bellows direction.
