So rare to find a good accordion teacher or even an accordion player nowadays, I know... But here I am! Want to learn Polka, Musset and improvisation on accordion, please let me know and I'll help you learn fast!
About Celine
I hold a MA in Piano Performance from Azusa Pacific University. I have been teaching piano for all ages and all levels since 2002. I had formal training in Suzuki pedagogy method from the Suzuki certified trainer. Over the last ten years, I have been integrating Suzuki method with various modern piano pedagogies to teach beginners and received positive feedback from students and parents. I believe that students under my integrated method usually progress much faster than the ones under traditional Suzuki method.
In addition to piano teaching, I also teach all levels of accordion and violin (Suzuki Method).
I am patient, friendly, cheerful and good at customizing my lessons to meet individual student's needs. I believe all students have potential to master skills as long as they have strong self-discipline, perseverance and supporti

About Marcel M.
Close
20+ years experience, CD recording, orchestra etc.!
EVERY MUSIC STYLE!
Teaching is more a hobby and pleasure for me than a side job. My students mostly have to remind me that the time is over and I have to let them go. ;)
As I said, it is passion and love for the music and this fantastic instrument. Send me a message if you have any questions.
If you don't own an instrument. No problem. I can provide a rental until we find the right instrument for you within you budget.
I am looking forward to hear from you.
About Marcel
I work as a tutor and mentor in many of those fields for years. It was and is a side business, but I always enjoyed teaching.
I am looking forward to move on with you and / or your kids.
Have a great day,
Marcel
Update 02/10/15: Takelessons is a great way to teach and a fantastic and easy way to learn for students. I currently have 3 students per week, with several hours. I really enjoy it, either online via Skype or Facetime or Live at the students place. Hit me up and let's move something together.

About Connor C.
Close
Accordion is one of my truest loves. I've been a musician as long as I can remember. I've been playing traditional Irish accordion for 6 years and have had 5 very talented teachers myself. I can apply my performance and teaching techniques to piano or button accordion. I've also played concert piano accordion for 6 years, and can teach the fundamentals of accordion playing, advanced technique and style for accordion, basic to advanced music theory, and general performance and practice techniques. I have several accordions that can be rented as well.
About Connor
I'm a film composer by trade, but I love teaching as well. I love sharing my passion for music with others. I have a BM from Appalachian State University in piano performance and music theory/composition. I also have an MFA in music composition for the screen from Columbia College Chicago. I studied abroad in Ireland for a summer and learned traditional Irish music. I've been playing piano and composing since I was a young child, and picked up folk instruments along the way. Folk music has been a constant source of joy in my life, and I am continually learning more about it. Music is what gets me out of bed in the morning!

一个好的钢琴老师应该是一个颇具个人魅力的人、良好的性格、特有的艺术气质，能够针对不同学生的不同情况通过不同方式吸引、感染、带动学生。 好的钢琴老师，是你家儿子或女儿每星期要上课钢琴的那一天盼着要见的那个人。好的钢琴老师，是你家孩子弹了新曲子的时候，迫不及待的想分享的那个人。 一个好的老师还应该不仅仅只教授技巧，更教授为人之道， 好的钢琴老师，是让你孩子的文化境界更加提升的那个人。
Lena就是这样的老师也!❤
我积极推荐。

I really enjoyed my lesson with Lena today. She is a really patient, kind, and caring piano teacher. Her teaching style was very clear and easy to understand even though I do not have any past experience in music or playing instruments. She helped me learn the basic keys. I look forward to taking more lessons with her. I have already signed up for 4 additional lessons.
Thanks,
Matthew

Hello A little bit about my teaching style: I’m classically trained jazz pianist and accordionist and my teaching method caries the structure of traditional piano and accordion lessons as I remain open towards each student's individual way of learning, passion for music, and creativity. In my lessons students would come across genres such as classical, jazz, folk, rock, and other styles.

Plamen made this possible through high standards and incredible demonstrations. The crux of improvement is in repeating rhythms, melodies, and voicings that do not come easily. Plamen demanded this repetition because he cared about my development. When he demonstrated a tune, my living room became Carnegie Hall. His mastery meant that I could practice soloing in the higher register, for example, while he played a gorgeous foundation below.
Plamen has imbued my life with music and with pride.
