The Accordion (Clara and Daniela)

The accordion is an instrument that combines both the melody and an accompaniment pieces. The instrument is able to do this because the left side is where the bass part is. There are set bass cords on the left side of the accordion. The melody is played on the right side. There are buttons that play individual notes. The history of the accordion is very interesting. The first model of the accordion was created in Germany but over time it has traveled all the way to Mexico. This map will show some of the places where the accordion went and explain some of its history.
