If you find time for watching the news on TV, or talking on your cell phone, enjoying your tablet, computer or just sitting on your couch, you can find the time to take your accordion out of its case! With a little effort, you will be pleasantly surprised with the results. Now that many of us continue to be home because of Covid 19, we have extra time for learning. You can find at least 20 to 30 minutes a day to practice your accordion if you really want to.
Here are your 2022 New Year's Resolutions! Have some suggestions? Please send them along with your ideas/comments to me at I promise to practice my accordion every day. (Even if you met them virtually online, one day you will actually meet them!)
Think of all the wonderful people that you have met this past year because of the accordion. It is never too late to begin learning the accordion (or any instrument) and the joys, which include meeting new friends, are priceless. I like to begin each new year reminding us all that playing music at any level is a unique and special gift which we all possess. We are all wishing that 2022 will be a much better year for all of us. Even with the pandemic, we have plenty of wonderful positive news and events taking place in the accordion world. We hope you have enjoyed the news over the last year, and AWW will continue to keep you informed about accordion events wherever they are happening.
