Q. I've just bought a 32 bass piano accordion and need to start somewhere/somehow. Any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks.
A. Check out the following page: http://www.accordionpage.com He has a chart for the bass side. Note where the "C" note is and it will correspond to the dimpled or otherwise marked one on your accordion. Just print out the chart for the 120 bass and mark off the ones you don't have. The arrangement is the same. You might want to browse the archives of the AccordionFreedomForm group on Yahoo. Lots of good info there as well as a wealth of expertise and useful links. Won't cost anything to join either and you won't get junk mail as a result. There are several other good Yahoo groups as well. Just search for "Accordion" and surf the ones that interest you.
How do you turn Gutar chords to piano chords?
Q. I am trying to learn a song on the piano, but only have guitar chords.
A. Chords are made up of the same notes, whether you play them on guitar or piano! So you just need a good piano chord chart to learn the chords you need to play. I'm assuming you know the song and the rhythms and can work that part out for yourself.
Usually when pianists play chord style, you play the chord with your right hand and a bass note in the left hand. So if the chord you see is G, you'd play a G chord with your right hand and a low G note with the left hand. Another option is to play chords with your left hand and the song's melody with your right hand.
Here's a good visual piano chord chart for you to use:

How can I learn to memorize my piano chords for my music faster?
Q. At my school they have a program called Winter Drumline and it's like a drumline show whenever marching season is over, the pit and the battery are in it. I am in the pit for winter drumline this year and I am playing the synth (electric piano). I am new to playing piano and I am not used to treble clef, I play trombone and baritone so I am more familiar with the bass clef, although I can read treble, it takes me a minute. So the chords I have to play are kind of difficult, especially for someone learning to play. How can I learn these chords faster so I can learn the show faster? Please help and thanks in advance :)
A. Hey Good for you! I was in Winter drum line to0. I marched snare, and now I am a Jazz Piano major. A good way to memorize chords is to take one measure at a time very slowly. Ms=Measure
Example:
-Memorize Ms1.
-Memorize Ms2.
-Play Ms1&2 very slowly until you have that memorized.
-Memorize Ms3
-Play Ms1-3 very slowly unitl memorized
-Memorize Ms4.
-Play Mes1-4
Bump up the metronome 5 clicks and repeat for awhile.
Then do the same thing for measures 5-8
and then play measures 1-8 very slowly.
And continue learning the rest of the show like that.
That method is to learn specific chords that are written out like you said on a treble clef. But You should start to read chord charts too and chord symbols, so when you see a C-7 chord you know to C-Eb-G-Bb or when you see a G7 chord you know to play G-B-D-F.
If you don't know what 7 chords are, start to learn ALL your major and minor triad chords.
C=C-E-G
Db=Db-F-Ab
D=D-F#-A
etc.....
and then the next step would be to learn those major and minor triads in different 1st and second inversion, meaning the middle or last note is on the bottom.
First inversion chords:
C=E-G-C
Db=F-Ab-Db
D=F#-A-D
etc..
Second inversion chords:
C=G-C-E
Db=Ab-Db-F
D=A-D-F#
etc...
Piano is one of the most technical instruments to play because not only do you have to consider rhythm and harmony but also melody.
If your really interested in piano see if you can find a teacher that teaches both Jazz, and classical.
If your in the Detroit area I give lessons!
Good luck sorry for the rant!
