Embedded youTube VIDEO
Twelve videos in keys of: C=3 D=1 G=8
Many of these performances are quite fast, so at first you may want to play the videos at half speed, and then return to normal speed when you are ready. (If you don't know how, check the "Introduction to youTube" under the drop-down "Info" menu at the top of this page).
Also, please note that some performances do not follow the above accordion notation, though most are quite close for Part 1.
If you are a beginner, you may want to focus mainly on, and master, Part 1, before moving on to learn Part 2.
