As you've got a melodeon (a diatonic accordion) as opposed to an ordinary accordion, you would be better off with a specific melodeon book. 'Mally's Melodeon Methods' is particularly good; he produces tapes which help with exercises ie they give you some idea of what you should sound like! The book / tapes are available from 'The Music Box' Cleckheaton, W Yorkshire. I don't have further details to hand, perhaps a search on www may help, also try looking for Dave Mallinson on www. If you're still stuck, pm me and I'll search out details for you. Good luck with an instrument that really can sound good. John
