About this user

I play accordion (coolest instrument ever) music written by many different composers. I am currently composing some of my own music, as well.

I was taught how to play accordion and I have learned most of what I currently know from my old teacher, but I stopped learning from him a while ago, and taught myself for some time using the Palmer-Hughes Accordion Course Books. Now I have a new teacher, Frank Toscano, and he is helping me progress at a good rate.

I apologize for not posting a video in a long time. I've been really busy and haven't had enough free time to focus on perfecting individual pieces. I promise that over the summer, I will post more videos.

Please provide feedback for my music by leaving comments.
Thanks!
