Benefits of Accordion Lessons
Ease of Learning
Single note bass and fixed chord buttons make for very fast and easy learning of bass and rhythm accompaniment.
Education, General Academic Improvements
By learning the accordion, students learn how to organize their time for practice. Research has shown that people who learn music early in life achieve better academic results.
Problem Solving
To be able to play music one learns how to concentrate on a problem and find the best solution.
Music Appreciation
It is easier to appreciate and enjoy music if one understands how music is structured.
Concentration
As progress is made through musical education the ability to concentrate increases. With increased concentration comes improved memory skills.
Coordination
Playing the accordion requires coordination. Not only do players use both hands, but the left arm operates the bellows while the player reads music. As difficult as this sounds, a student can learn to play a piece of music fairly quickly.
Creativity
The accordion is an incredibly versatile instrument. Not only can it play most musical styles, it is also very good for improvisation.
