Accordion Lessons At The Zeitgeist - October 26, 2005

1. Three Blind Mice
   I love using this song as a group warmup excersize, because it forces everyone to LISTEN to one another. There are three parts to the melody, which all overlap, so if you are a beginner accordion player, you can play the same phrase repetitivley.
2. Bela Bartok - MicroKosmos
   This simple melody is a great warmup excersize for new accordion players. I got this song from 'six unison melodies' from MicroKosmos by Bela Bartok.
3. Rachel's Song
   This is a recording of Rachel teaching me a Romanian gypsy song. She doesn't know the name of it.
4. Ayazein
   This is a simple version of a classic middle-eastern melody. It is one of the first songs I like to teach to people. It sounds like a bellydance tune. It is good with drums
