How is the best way to learn to play the accordion?
I reasonable got an accordion and am so excited to play. I am most interested in playing Christmas music. Unfortunately, when God was handing out musical talent, he skipped me. Also, I can not find anyone in my compass who will give lessons. It seems to be hopeless. Does anyone know if there are any sort of online tutorials to get started? or many some sort of Accordion for Dummies book or DVD series? (I am group of joking about that last part... but am still hopeful! lol) Let me know if anyone can help me out with this! Thanks!
Knowledge from a teacher would be best, but if none are available here are some online lessons -

You can also find quite a lot on youtube.
Also here is a concatenate to an accordion bass button layout - this always confuses beginners, so it might be helpful -

There are some DVD's available, but they are for the most part geared towards a very specific type of music (Irish, Tex-Mex, ect.) and not always for beginners.
Good luck
