Learn Accordion Basics Easily

With three years of playing experience, I'm admittedly not a professional. But I do play on the streets, in parks, and at open mics. I've even played at a Submarine Commodore's home (twice). You too can entertain and delight your friends and family with the accordion. I offer simple, friendly accordion lessons that break down the instrument and get you playing tunes quickly.

I charge $10 an hour for lessons. I think that's very reasonable for beginner instruction. I'm doing this because the accordion is initially very intimidating and expensive, and this stops a lot of new musicians. The reality is that accordions are easier than playing the piano and can be found at decent prices - and I can help with both.

I should specify that these lessons are for piano accordion. We can talk about other free reed instruments like concertinas and button accordions, but those are not the same as a piano accordion and require different approaches.

Fun lessons that really helped!
