Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. It is beautifully clear and concise. No time is wasted, and everything is so well demonstrated that I can think of nothing more to say, except - you're a fine teacher and a kind person for posting this. Many will learn from it! By the way, I often use a mirror to check my left hand fingerings.
I really appreciate you taking the time to write such thoughtful feedback! It is reassuring to know that you find it clear and concise. That is my primary goal.
Lucy Riddett I’m a retired teacher. The way you break down each section with very clear fingerings, titles and text directions sets this video apart from others’ efforts. Even viewing this on a small screen of a smartphone is possible, because you use nice sharp closeups. Performing and teaching are two different things, to do both well - as you have done - is a treat for the learner!
I am finding this mirrored tutorial great to follow, I’m learning this piece, it is not an easy piece, and learning it cannot be rushed, so thank you for your help. K
Don't know if that's really necessary but then again, perhaps it is. People do get used to how they see things Your tutorial was outstanding and a person could get the correct fingering if they use the forth finger on the fundamental bass column (I prefer using the third finger. Guess I'm old school.). I used a mirror when I first started just to find the positions of the left hand buttons but after I was accustomed to how to find them I stopped. If one constantly uses a mirror to find the buttons, it's a crutch that they will rely on and it then becomes a hindrance. After all, one can't see the buttons while playing without a mirror. It's much better to learn the patterns that stradella has and just simply practice those jumps 10,00, times until one gets it. I printed out a stradella chart and used that to find new notes until I got used to them after learning the pattern. There is no easy way. I like the way you show how to slide across the buttons to find the markers instead of lifting the finger and jumping. A lesson it took me ages, and many mistakes, to learn that. You put the note names in your video and that's great but was think perhaps you could somehow put the notes on the staff too. I don't know how you'd to that but It might make things a bit more natural for some.
I have a question,... at the 3:17 mark,... you are holding the E note down yet the screen says you are playing the C note . Am I not seeing this right?
Hi LUCY RIDDETT, A friend called me and tried to learn the Bass I told him it's all wrong. HAS he or the new players didn't understand the Accordion. Your video is REVERSING referred to as a flip mirror left to the right key. Thus adjust your video camera 2023
@@accordionlucy I understand it lol But it is not easy for some lol Still love your beautiful playing and can't wait to see more of you in 2023 Keep up the good work.
as I go over this,... I"m getting lost trying to connect the notes from you, to the sheet music notes, it seems that there was a lot added on from your tutorial, than what I can find on any sheet music. can you tell what sheet music you may have on this?.. I'd love to learn it, but, having trouble matching up notes from you, to notes on music sheets. thanks!
Hi Pat, unfortunately I learnt this by ear so there is no existing sheet music for this arrangement as far as I am aware. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
@@accordionlucy that's ok,... I've found some sheet music on it,... however, there were some additions that you had put in, that I couldn't find on the sheet music. thanks for getting back to me, I really appreciate it! I'm trying to learn this one on my own, and surprise my music instructor on it. I'll keep looking and listening to this tutorial to see if I can get it. thanks again!
@@pugo7925 hey, thanks for watching! I thought it might be easier for a learner to see me playing in what looks like a mirror image of themselves. Do you think it is more confusing?
Bonjour Trop cool.... j'adore. Du coup moi aussi je l'apprends sur mon accordéon... et La Foule de Édith Piaf ...est ce possible d'avoir un tuto svp......
You can use the middle registers on your accordion, preferably 3 if your accordion has all three. Two is enough if that's all you have. I don't have a piccolo register on my accordion. But really, you can use whichever combination you like the best.
@Lucy Riddett Appreciate you taking the time to create such a beautiful and well delivered tutorial. I've recently acquired my first accordion and I can't wait to be able to play this song for one of my favorite composers!
Hi Lucy, I played 3 years of Accordion in kindergarten (lol), but that was a long time ago. Because of La Valse D'Amélie, I really want to learn Accordion again... Do you think this piece is an intermediate or advanced level for Accordion players? How many years do I have to spend in Accordion learning to get the skill adequate for this piece?
Hey :) I'll answer as best I can, although a lot of the answer depends on how much you still remember from your lessons in kindergarten. I would consider this piece intermediate. The left hand makes this piece easy because the chords repeat throughout the whole piece. You could learn this piece within a year. With even more years of experience after that, you can learn to play it more expressively as you master the bellows and improve your touch on the keyboard.
Hi there! I definitely could do that, but it would add many hours to the editing process.... I haven't found a quick way to edit these videos. I don't think I can afford to spend more time editing in the finger numbers sorry!
Thank you so very much for your tutorials! They’re easily the best accordion tutorial videos I’ve seen. They’re perfect for my learning style. I love the way you break everything into logical sections and repeat them slowly. I wanted to learn from your La Noyee tutorial first, but I feel like this one is easier for me to grasp before taking that step 😁

Love it. No nonsens talk. Very instructional. Best teacher on the webb
Thank you SO much Erik!
This is a wonderful tutorial! Excellent work, and thank you!!!
Thank you for the feedback! I plan to make more.
Lucy, thanks a lot for your work ♥️🍀 i have been wanting to play this song for a long time. Please, go on to share videos like these 🍀
I hope it helps you :)
@@accordionlucy Be sure, it will help very much. lot's of love 🍀😊
I'm strapped in, knowledge is power
You don't need a lesson from me! But thanks for being here anyway!
Thank you so much for making this video! I never thought I would be able to play this as a beginner but I am getting there thanks to you!
So wonderful to hear!!! Thank you for leaving a comment. Congratulations!
Picked up the accordion during lockdown and learned this song with your tutorial, amazing! Thank you!
That's great! Well done Omar!
Hello I am from Turkey. I was looking for accordion lessons for these pieces. Thank you very much for your work and lessons. you are great!
You are welcome!
Found this after we talked about how useful mirrored practice is for the accordion, especially for the chord buttons 👐
If I made tutorials mirrored like this, would you watch both? Or just the mirrored version?
@@accordionlucy Probably, if both identical,🤔 just the mirrored.
I am finding this mirrored tutorial great to follow, I’m learning this piece, it is not an easy piece, and learning it cannot be rushed, so thank you for your help. K
I’m glad you’re finding the mirrored version helpful! It’s not easy but you can do it :)
I LOVED THE MIRRORED VIDEO, THIS HELPS A LOT!
Thanks for the feedback. I'm really glad it helped you!
Bravo, I love the bounciness of this song...:)
Thank you for this video - it has really helped me to get the second section :)
can you teach "i´ve got a dream" from tangled? your classes are so great! they´re really really helping me!
3:48
I like it! subscribed and will follow every lesson. Congratulation for the good work.
Thank you!
Thanks for lesson !! I am from Brazil! Wachting your best video. Agora é só repetir várias vezes até aprender !!
You're welcome :) I hope it helps.
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. It is really helping me!
Great to hear Anna! All the best.
Smart idea with the reversed image. I myself practice in front of a mirror from time to time.
I thought it was because she's in Australia...you know...down under.... But I do think it's a great tutorial...
I feel the oppositte, dunno, for me is simpler if is not mirrored
Thank your the feedback! I am getting some mixed reviews so I might publish a non flipped version so people can pick their preference.

You're welcome!
Thanks for the video! Can you share a button accordion lessons for us if you have or can make ones?
You're welcome!
I don't actually play button accordion sorry..
I have a question,... at the 3:17 mark,... you are holding the E note down yet the screen says you are playing the C note . Am I not seeing this right?
Thanks
Isn't that accordion upside down?

Yes this is the only video I have reversed. What do you think of it?
@@accordionlucy I understand it lol But it is not easy for some lol Still love your beautiful playing and can't wait to see more of you in 2023 Keep up the good work.
Thank u so much
No problem

wonderful job, thank you very much! It would be perfect if you had the whole song connected at the end o fthe video
I have the whole song in a separate video. You can find it in the French playlist or also the Yann Tiersen playlist. Thanks for watching!
Tens fazer uma dica das teclas de section 5, não é Sol si, tinha apenas Mi sol si :)
Yes, I made an error when I was recording! Look at the letter names rather than what I am playing, in the part when the audio is removed.
Hope you're doing well in your new job. Thanks for the tutorial.
by the way why the accordion is flipped?
@@pugo7925 hey, thanks for watching! I thought it might be easier for a learner to see me playing in what looks like a mirror image of themselves. Do you think it is more confusing?
@@accordionlucy I don't think it is confusing since from top to bottom the notes are the same, but it feels quite unnatural to me.
Thanks for sharing!
pleasure!
It seems that the tutorial of La Valse de Amelie is slightly different from her performance of it.
Can anyone correct me
Hmmm if there are any differences then it would be a mistake... as I thought I was creating the same tutorial!
Is the accordion mirrored or the vid?
The video is mirrored... I'm not sure that I am coordinated enough to play the bass buttons with my right hand!
Bonjour
Trop cool.... j'adore. Du coup moi aussi je l'apprends sur mon accordéon...
et La Foule de Édith Piaf ...est ce possible d'avoir un tuto svp......
Hello, thank you :) I will add Le Foule to my list of requests.
@@accordionlucy Merci ....J'attends avec impatience :)
Esta canção A valsa da Amélie que usava registro musette triplo?
I use a triple musette but I don't know what the original recording uses.
I hope that you could be my teacher!
A canção da valsa da Amélie pode ser usar registro musette triplo, musette com Piccolo, violin e celeste?
You can use the middle registers on your accordion, preferably 3 if your accordion has all three. Two is enough if that's all you have. I don't have a piccolo register on my accordion. But really, you can use whichever combination you like the best.
Desculpe, pode ser usar registro musette triplo, musette, violino e celeste?
have score?
no, sorry.
Nice Tortureal.
Thank you.
Rarely seen such a good tutorial! Keep up the good work
Thank you :) That means a lot to me!
Great work Lucy maybe you can do one for the Domino tune as you play it xxx
Thanks! I'll add it to the list!
Thank you for sharing, your video is very good, I love it. Nice to meet you. Wish you happiness and success in life 💌💖👌👍
Thank you very much.
I understand it lol But it is not easy for some lol Still love your beautiful playing and can't wait to see more of you in 2023 Keep up the good work.
Thank you. If you don’t like the mirror version I have a standard version too!

This would have taken ages to do, nice work
It did😅 Thank you for noticing.

I am new. Is it posible to write also the numbers of the fingers. thumb number 1 and pink number 5 . for example e2
Hi there! I definitely could do that, but it would add many hours to the editing process.... I haven't found a quick way to edit these videos. I don't think I can afford to spend more time editing in the finger numbers sorry!
hello. What kind of accordion are you using? there are so many kinds im trying to figure out which kind to rent

Very good as always. Had abit of a challenge with the mirrored view - so used to seeing players face-on. See facebook. ~Bob.
