Hi, I'm Tom!
I've been playing the accordion since I was six years old. In my youth and teens, my accordion career was all about going to accordion lessons and preparing for competitions. Now I simply play for fun, and I want to show you how interesting, versatile and enjoyable the accordion can be! I also love making videos, so UA-cam is a great way for me to combine my talents and share them with you.
My co-star is a 30-pound acoustic piano accordion (Monarch Grand Prix) powered only by muscle and air. What you see is exactly what you hear... 100% pure accordion. Never any electronically-generated sounds or filler music.
I play a lot of different musical styles, including classical, jazz, tango, polka, latin, and more. I'm also starting to do some new things like pop music and cover songs. If there's anything you want to hear, or anything you want to know about the accordion, please let me know!
Cheers,
Accordion Tom

I've been wanting to cover this song for years now, but it's obviously a very unique song with vocals and all kinds of interesting sounds happening in the background. I think I did it justice but let me know what you think!

Havana ooo-na-na, half of my heart is in Havana, ooo-na-na... I love this song by Camila Cabello and was determined to play it on my accordion! Learning it by ear was a huge challenge but a lot of fun! Keeping the keyboard and bass in sync was the toughest part - the basses are really spread out on this one (see the jumps in the video). Please enjoy and let me know what you want to hear next ti...

La Vie En Rose performed on accordion by Accordion Tom. Let me transport you to a little cafe in Paris ;) This song sounds great on the accordion and is a lot of fun to play. Its very slow pace is different from most of my other music. I learned this one by ear based on the amazing accordion and guitar duet by Bon Apetit Musique from their album, "France and French Cafe Accordion Music." Thank ...

The French classic, Pigalle by Accordion Tom. Inspired by Bon Appétit Musique and their album, "France and French Cafe Accordion Music." Originally written by Georges Ulmer, Géo Koger and Guy Luypaerts. This is such a cheery song that's a lot of fun to play. I love the high note with diminished bass chord periodically in the song... it conveys a little sense of surprise and delight. Pigalle pho...

White Christmas performed on Accordion

Happy Holidays from Accordion Tom! My gift to you is "White Christmas" (I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas) on the accordion. I learned this song as a kid and it's still one of my favorite Christmas songs. I'm not sure who put this arrangement together (it's cut off on my music notes) but it's a nice one. I show the notes in the video but I am improvising a bit. Hope you enjoy and I hope your Ho...

It's accordion Sunday Funday - What better day to play NEVER ON SUNDAY on the accordion?! This is the classic tune by Manos Hadjidakis, arranged for accordion by Pietro Deiro. I've improvised quite a bit (having some fun) compared to the original sheet music, which I also show in the video. Cheers, Accordion Tom

So here is one of the famous Oktoberfest German drinking songs, In München Steht Ein Hofbräuhaus (In Munich is the Hofbrauhaus).

When you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you die. So I put together a Game of Thrones accordion cover that even Robert Baratheon would be proud of. I did three separate takes and spliced them all together. This was my most difficult video yet! Hope you enjoy my video and the Game of Thrones Season 7 Finale! Hit me up in the comments and let me know what you think! Cheers, Accordion Tom Spe...
2001: A Space Odyssey Opening ACCORDION COVER (Also Sprach Zarathustra - Strauss)
Переглядів 4,1 тис.7 років тому
I've been messing around with this song since I was a kid, so I cleaned it up a bit and made an accordion cover video! This song actually lends itself pretty well to the accordion. You can mimic the Timpani Drums in the original piece by pounding on the C and G basses. The song is Also Sprach Zarathustra (Thus Spoke Zarathustra) by Richard Strauss, made famous by the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey...

What a nice song. You played it wery well. The costume was funny.
@@peterocilka1466 Thank you!
Под эту песню , когда я была меленькая, мы делали зарядку в садике
Хаха, это здорово. Спасибо за просмотр!
Great musical atmosphere and beautiful Kuba in the background of the video and accordion music - something beautiful, bravo for the idea and execution, best regards. like271 👋👍✌
Thank you!
Yay I finally found a cool accordion player!
nice one! deserves million of views! good arrangement, sounds quite nice on accordion. ALternatively I wonder how much of it could be played LIVE as one take solo on accordion - I assume not all parts can be played but I have always been the most interested in what possible that way - that said this was interesting
Thank you! Yes, I recorded the tracks separately and put them together to create a richer and more accurate rendition of the song. A solo version would have some limitations and sound much different. I continue to experiment… thanks again for watching and commenting!
@@AccordionTom Surely mixing the tracks this way is another great art, trying to capture most of the parts from original! Enjoying it, and saving it for later :) I know its not easy (Been tinkering with Reaper DAW in the past.)
hehe, bravo man. Boa interpretação! Curti, estou seguindo o Tom.
Thank you!
È una fisarmonica 4/5 doppio cassotto? Ma usi il microfono 🎤 per amplificarla? Di che anno è questa fisarmonica?
Non penso che sia doppio cassotto. Realizzato probabilmente nei primi anni '80. Ho un sistema microfonico integrato per l'amplificazione, ma utilizzo microfoni a condensatore per i miei video. Grazie per la visione! Perdonate eventuali imprecisioni con il mio italiano... ho usato Google Translate!
Спасибо за красивую музыку 😍 🎼🎹🎶🎶👍👍👍🙋♀️
My pleasure, thank you!
Beautiful music. Very well done like👍
Thank you!!
A great musical adventure and atmospheric music video. Bravo for the idea and execution. like 👍

Great performance makes an impression, cool music flows in a good atmosphere, and the accordion sounds great. Bravo for the idea and execution. Happy Christmas.🧑🎄👍✌ like4 🎄🎁🎁🎇🎁🎄
Thank you!
Merry Christmas from South Wales. Fantastic playing. I played lots of these songs at a charity Christmas tea party last week. Thank you for bringing festive cheer to my morning!
Thanks Julian!
Welcome back Tom and Merry Christmas!
Thank you, Merry Christmas to you as well!
Prachtig❤
Dank u wel!
Magnifique j'adore, si vous avez la partition je serais heureuse😘😘
Merci! Je l'ai appris à l'oreille
It seems to be a dance of little ducklings, if I'm not mistaken. The performance is great! Success!
Thank you!
i love this video thank you
Thank you!
I love this cover 🙂
Thank you!
love the bass line!
Thanks Antonio!
I had to come here after watching 'Weird: The Al Yankovic Story'. 😁
Haha, great movie. My favorite scene was the accordion salesman 😂 One came to my house when I was 6
@@AccordionTom I hope your dad didn't beat him to a pulp. 😄
As a musician that played accordion four years (8-12 years old), this video made me realize how upset I am that my parents required I give-up accordion when I wanted to play guitar too (only allowed to have one or the other). Just for that I’m going to buy one now and learn this song. I realize I can play it on my synth, but nothing says “I love music” quite like an old squeeze-box. BTW: The way to make a lot of money with an accordion is to play for free and charge $100 to stop (for five minutes). We’re going to be rich Bro. 😎
Haha I hope you do get an accordion, Kurt! As far as getting rich, why didn’t I think of that? Turns out I’ve been doing it wrong all this time!
Outstanding 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 well played
Thanks Princess, much appreciated!
Did you say this song España is intermediate? Ha ha ha!!! Maybe to you- a great accordionist. It’s actually in Book 8 of the PH 10 book series. I’m just getting back into accordion playing- I was on book 7 about 12 when I stopped. Wish I’d kept playing. You’re my inspiration! Thanks…
Thank you! I always thought this one was fun to play, which definitely helps. Keep at it!
👏👏👏
Thank you!
Good Please notes 🥺
Don’t have notes, learned by ear!
Hahahaha
I love this version more than any other I've listened to on youtube because the melody is carried well on single keys without too much chord accompaniment. In my opinion La Vie En Rose sounds enchanting on accordion when the melody is heard in single notes. Thank you!
Thanks Don!
🇩🇪
Bravisimo Fantastic accordion ..:)

Yes! That was awesome! So pleasent sounding. Makes me feel content.

This is epic. Though may I ask if you have the sheet music by chance?
Thank you! No notes... I put this one together by ear
Nicely played 👍. Nice masks too.. 😂
Haha, thank you!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Very nice version especially the bass line I haven't heard before! Thanks.
Thank you!
hello i'd like to ask how did you play this with the standard stradella system or did you play multiple tracks and stitch them together? the reason I ask is I also like to play music not really for accordions and i'd always appreciated some more info or techniques to try out.
I played multiple tracks and overlaid them. Thanks for the question and have fun!
Am i on drugs?...
Many greetings from Greece!!
Thank you, greetings!

Hi Tom, so beautiful and it brought me back childhood memories. I use to play this favourite song for my parent’s but have since lost my music sheet and was wondering if you could share it with me. It is the exact notes. Thank you.
Super bravo! I watched with my son lovely congs man.
Thank you!
Hi, where I can find notes this song? Please tell me 🙏
Sorry, learned this one by ear!
