AccordionThe Next Generation

The accordion is gaining popularity again! Perhaps that is because it is such a versatile instrument lending itself well to ethnic, folk, popular, and jazz music as well as classical music. Unlike other instruments that can be played as solo instruments but are more often heard as part of a larger group, the accordion is a solo instrument and is in great demand in all genres of musical groups.

Our classes are geared toward adults who want to learn to play for their own enjoyment. Students learn to read music and to listen to music and learn how to adapt it to the accordion. Our students have expressed a variety of reasons why they want to play the accordion such as:

• They like the sound of the instrument;
• They have an older relative who played;
• They inherited an instrument;
• They want to play with an ethnic group;
• They want to play music of their heritage;
• They played as a child and want to resume learning;
• They played the piano but want to learn accordion because it is portable;
• They know that playing the accordion provides an outlet from the stress of everyday life.

Whatever your reason is for wanting to play the accordion, we will work with you and help you achieve your goal!
