Note to Button translator and a cool transposition trick!

I am an oboist by traing and a software engineer by trade, so as i've been trying to pick up Cajun Accordion, i wanted to share two things with you:


1. Notes => Buttons

www.gulfwest.org <= I program I wrote that translates notes to buttons on my C keyed cajun accordion


2. Youtube Transposition

you can install the Chrome browser plugin called "transpose" and use it to auto-transpose and slow down youtube videos of music.

Here's an example of taking Corey Ledet's "Push me away" which is in G Major, and moving it down a perfect 4th (i.e. -4)

example:

Hope this is useful to someone else! really love all the information that's here.
