The Accordion

Okay, I've been taking accordion lessons. I decided to give the accordion a try for a few reasons. First, as you can see from the photo, my grandfather played the accordion so it's in my blood. Second, I LIKE polkas. Third, I want there to be some music in the house for Bodie and if he ever starts playing an instrument, I want to be able to help with the music theory. Fourth, I like the challenge of something new and difficult.



The Minneapolis Public School system gave me a very good music education. I am amazed at how much music theory I remember! I played the recorder, clarinet, saxophone, and finally the trumpet, but not the piano. So, I have much to learn and I'm enjoying it. My teacher is Janet Hane in Thousand Oaks.
