| La Marche du Crabe | One of the very first tunes of our method for chromatic accordion, that our pupils find particularly encouraging : only one bass note, so it's not too difficult to desynchronize it, the right hand can learn without interference... | TablEdit | |
| Sè Canto (occitan traditional song) |
The left hand, here, play continuous bass notes. Pose your finger 2 (major) on the bass note G... So your hand is well placed for the continuation of the tune. The difficulty for a beginner consists in knowing when you have to change the bass... Singing with the left hand will help you ! |

| Glav nevez | All our students chromaticists enjoy this particularly encouraging waltz : only 2 chords (left hand) and 4 notes (right hand). Be rigorous (left hand) : understand well the rhythm of the beginning before playing the continuation. Attention : use the finger 3 (annular) for the bass note and the finger 2 (major) for the chord (even if you think that it would be simpler to use the finger 1). |

| Hep chom-a-sav | An ideal tune to discover the chords known as " minors" (m). Indeed, the right hand is very logical. The left hand too, at least in the 1st part. For the first time, you are going to play eighth notes : your left hand should not copy the melody, this the difficulty there. Look at the tab and listen to the file mid. Attention : at the end of the tune, play the bass note + the chord together. Important : Left hand - use finger 3 (annular) for the bass note and finger 1 (index) for the chord minor. |

| Straed ar Filiped | After the preceding tune, this "hanter dro" should not be too difficult (several eighth notes) Attention : play the chord major (not the minor one)! For a small period, your left hand will hesitate permanently between the two chords : minor or major. It's normal, be patient ! |

| Andes dro | Simple "an dro", with only 2 chords (minor, attention !) An interesting exercise, on this tune : playing on the higher octave. Play the melody beginning 4 keys lower (1st note : the 7th key, "A" or "la") |

| L'eau vive (Guy Béart) |
We propose the same harmonization for chromatic and diatonic accordions (Print the Diato Tab) Print the words of the song. |

| Fais du feu dans la cheminée | Attention : the left hand don't play in the same way in the verse and the chorus. The chorus has two versions : the simple melody, then a richer version (two voices). Attention, look at the proposed fingers : 1 and 2, then P and 3 ... |
