Learn about how accordions work and what bellows are! This easy explanation is perfect for children to understand musical instruments.
An accordion is a musical instrument that makes sounds when you play it. One special part of the accordion is called the bellows. Think of bellows like a big, soft balloon or a folding paper fan!
When you pull the bellows apart, it takes in air, like when you blow up a balloon. And when you push it back together, the air comes out. This air goes through special parts inside the accordion that make music. So, when you pull it and push it, it helps the accordion play pretty sounds!
So remember, bellows help the accordion breathe to make music!
