- Why do you choose to learn accordion? How to play it?
A: The teacher thought I am old enough to try the bigger and harder instrument. In this song, the teacher rearranged the piece. I also got a solo part in it. I'm glad about it. The accordion is just like harmonica and organ. It makes sound by vibrating the reed inside. We pulled the bellow in left hand and played the key in right hand. Then the air flowed in the bellow and vibrated the reeds.
