    Can anyone help me with finding a simple way to play tunes on the button accordion? I took some lessons, but the instructor moved on so quickly after 4 or 5 classes that I got lost and gave up. But I learned the following- The inside row on a 2 row accordion has the following- 11 buttons! 4th button down is press=C, pull=D. 5th button=E-in, F-out, 6th button=G-in, A-out, 7th button=B-out, C'-in, 8th button D'. And he gave me these notes for 'the leaving of liverpool'

    ' = high or sharp note (lower buttons)
    I would be grateful if someone could help me or point me in the right direction. I can't read music notes but the example above would be a great step forward for me. My dad passed away over 3 years ago and left 3 accordions. He was very accomplished in sean nós singing and the accordion. I would love the chance to be able to play a few tunes so that the accordion remains a part of our family's tradition. Thanks in advance.
