Accordion Lessons

Our instructors work with each student on their artistic and technical development as they learn their craft. Understanding expression, style and technique makes playing an accordion instrument an enjoyable experience.

Students can study a wide range of musical genres from classical and popular, to traditional folk music.

Why choose accordion?

You see a lot of musicians performing all the time. But when is the last time you saw a professional accordionist playing? Although the stereotype accordionist plays only simple folk polkas, in reality you can do a lot more – provided you have a full-sized instrument, both jazz and classical music are not only possible, but are surprisingly well suited to the instrument.

A well-maintained, quality accordion has a pleasing sound and large dynamic range comparable to a piano or woodwind.

You can play without having to be accompanied all the time and you can also sing along while playing.

By playing the accordion, you will also develop a large degree of manual dexterity and develop strength. Playing complicated music requires a lot of finger work in both right and left hands, and operating the bellows is an excellent exercise for the left arm.

If you do not own an accordion we can recommend where to rent one locally or have one repaired if it is something you always wanted to try.
