"You have no idea what I've gone through to try to find someone like you who could show me how to play the accordion!" I looked into this student's teary eyes as he explained his frustrations trying to find an accordion teacher.
He just wanted step-by-step instructions from someone who was trained and knew what they were talking about.
What made it even harder was the closest accordion "teacher" was a three hour drive away from where he lived and he discovered they were a self taught accordion player who claimed they could teach since they also played the piano. (Note: The piano and the accordion are two completely different instruments!)
It wasn't the first time I had encountered a frustrated "student" who just wanted to learn to play their favorite songs.
He had searched google, watched countless youtube videos, tried several accordion method books, and still couldn't play...until we met.
This is why I created Accordion Life Academy. As a professional accordion teacher, I am super passionate about helping people learn how to play the accordion correctly and have access to quality lessons regardless of where they live.
I would love for you to join me in my online Accordion Life Academy. ~Patricia Bartell
