I (an adult student) have taken accordion lessons from several teachers but did not stick with it until I found Paul. Paul is a true professional, having university degrees in both piano and accordion, plus obvious enthusiasm and passion for music.
He is good at letting me go at my own pace while still nudging me to progress. Paul provides both technical exercises and beautiful music to play. He is proficient in and teaches all genres - classical, folk and jazz. Highly recommended! Read More...
Accordion Lessons
Learning to play the accordion is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable things you could ever choose to do. The term "Accordion" is derived from the German word "akkord," meaning "agreement or harmony." With its unique and expressive sound, the accordion evokes a world of emotion and tradition.
I have combined my experience as a classical musician, band performer, and composer to create my own unique method of teaching to meet the specific needs of each of my students and to help them achieve their personal goals and dreams. I have years of experience teaching children and adults with my proven teaching method that simplifies the learning process, making it fun and educational, enjoyable, and easy to comprehend.
My Teaching
As my student, you will learn to play various styles of accordion music, including classical, folk, jazz, blues, and pop, and you will be instructed in a variety of technical studies for the development of strength and dexterity, along with the fundamentals of music theory, sight reading, and ear training. I keep my lessons fun, interactive, and educational.

Accordion lessons provide a wide range of benefits. They help preserve and develop children's natural creative abilities. Studies show that music lessons help develop concentration, coordination, and self-discipline. Music lessons improve test scores, cognitive development, math and reading abilities, self-esteem, and school attendance.
Taking accordion lessons as an adult is great if you want to bond with your children or have a productive hobby that stimulates your mind and fingers. Music making makes adults healthier. There are significant decreases in anxiety, depression, and loneliness following music lessons. These are factors that are crucial in coping with stress, stimulating the immune system, and promoting overall health. So, if you have been thinking of taking up the accordion or any musical activity after all these years… it looks like it’s a great idea!
