German Waltz Medley pg 2

Copy Right 2009 So Good Productions D.S.


 Practice
Hints:
 1. Review
the
song
for
key
signature
and
fingering.
 2. Look
for
the
sections
and
the
way
sections
tend
to
repeat
the
chord
patterns.
 3. Start
by
playing
just
the
chords
–
then
break
the
chords
up
rhythmically
 4. Learn
a
small
section
at
a
time
–
slowly
–
then
match
that
section
to
the
 recordings
 5. If
you
get
lost
while
playing
with
the
recording
–
just
wait
until
the
next
section.
 Even
the
background
music
will
play
the
melody
for
the
first
few
measure
of
a
 new
section.
 6. These
arrangements
are
as
true
to
the
original
as
possible
–
but
as
in
any
 arrangement
–
there
are
small
chord
and
melody
note
differences
from
what
you
 might
have
played
before.
For
your
personal
performances
–
please
feel
free
to
 make
the
changes
–
but
for
this
performance
–
please
stay
as
close
as
you
can.
 7. For
the
more
advanced
accordionists
–
we
would
like
for
you
to
“play
off”
the
 melody
line
–
please
go
for
fills
and
adlibs
–
this
will
leave
the
melody
for
the
 intermediate
player
to
excell
on.
 8. AND
remember
–
with
this
many
accordion
players
–
NO
ONE
will
hear
if
you
 mess
up
–
just
don’t
LOOK
GUILTY
–
Smile
and
keep
going……..
 
 Please
practice
with
the
pre‐recorded
background
music
as
well
as
recording
of
the
 solo
line
being
played
with
the
background.
This
will
help
if
you
play
by
ear
or
need
 help
understanding
the
layout,
style
or
speed.
There
is
also
a
tablature
version
of
each
 song
in
separate
collection
(Tablature
Collection).
Especially
written
so
button
box
 and
those
that
play
with
the
I‐V‐IV
methods
can
join
in
too.
 
 The
selections
are
to
learned
and
possibly
memorized
(but
you
can
bring
a
stand
and
 read
if
need
be).
There
will
be
NO
rehearsal
–
you
are
to
be
comfortable
with
the
 songs,
even
if
you
just
play
the
chords
and
know
the
repeats
and
layout
of
the
songs.
 
 Please
feel
free
to
use
these
arrangements
with
the
beautiful
background
music
for
 your
personal
practice
and
public
performances.
We
just
ask
that
you
keep
the
 copyright
information
in
place
if
you
pass
the
selections
on.
Better
yet
–
please
re‐ visit
the
website
and
get
this
collection
for
your
friends
and
look
into
getting
more
 collections
we
are
planning
for
the
future.
AND
we
do
take
“requests”.
 
 Norman
Seaton
with
the
National
Accordion
Association
and
Nancy
Bless
with
the
 Texas
Folklife
Organization
have
been
so
supportive
in
the
promotion
of
this
STATE‐ WIDE
effort
to
promote
accordion
playing
and
we
hope
this
will
be
an
ongoing
 relationship.

You
