Affordable Accordion Lessons!!!
$35 for each 55 minute lesson.

It is recommended that elementary through high school children take weekly lessons that are 25 minutes in length.
Adults can take 55 minute lessons every other week.
Single or occasional lessons designed to improve specific skills are welcome, if the student already plays the accordion. For example, if you want to learn how to add a little improvisation in a song, or you want to learn a specific musical styling.
It is the responsibility of each student to have an accordion available for their use prior to the first lesson.

Each student works at his/her own pace.
