I worked my way through the first 4 lessons by Liberty Bellows but then I discovered Dale Mathis.
https://www.dalemathisaccordion.com/sheet-music--60-lessons.html . I'm following his "Play by Ear Lessons but he provides sheet music which is really nice so I can go faster.
Extremely good lessons. This is my first song I learned from him.
I'm up to about lesson 5 playing "The Can Can Polka" which is similar to Liberty Bellows lesson 4. I think I might like Liberty Bellows fingering better.
These are my sister-in-law's favorite polkas from Dale Mathis site. I need to learn alternating bass pattern.
- Julida
- Beer Barrel
- Rain Rain
- Tinker
I was hoping she'd play accordion with me at the in-laws family reunion but she didn't sound interested. She suggested Melodic Adventures in Bass-Land for the Accordion by John Caruso book 12 of 13: Palmer-Hughes Accordion Course from when she took lessons 10 years ago. So I ordered it.
My husband likes Blue Skirt Waltz. So my goal is to learn these 5 polkas before the in-laws reunion in summer.
