Dear Parent/Guardian:

As founder of Accordions for Kids/U.S.A., it is my privilege to tell you about an exciting new program intended to introduce young people to a wonderful musical instrument, the accordion.

Eight through twelve year old boys and girls who are accessible to one of the following independent teachers will be given an opportunity to test their interest in playing the accordion, and it’s free! Yes, for 10 weeks, without charge, we will lend each student participant a 12-bass accordion, music stand, music course booklet, and an
ABC Accordion Video Course for Beginners© by Dale E. Wise, M.M.E. presented in DVD or VHS format. A modest deposit on the loaned items will be required. In addition teacher will work with students during this trial period. With individual, group, and programmed instruction, your child will enjoy a positive musical experience.

Following a culminating recital, teacher will schedule an appointment with student and parent/guardian to return loaned items, and discuss the student’s progress and interest in continuing instruction. There is no obligation, just a great opportunity.

We hope you will join us in this important endeavor to enlighten another generation about the accordion. It certainly is “a whole band in your arms.” Please contact us with your questions or to enroll your child in the next available program.

P.S. See the following listing of independent teachers and their locations. Also, note comments made by fellow accordionists as to why they play the accordion, and what makes it so special!
