NAA President Norman Seaton shares, “The National Accordion Convention is a music convention that features the accordion. The 2025 Convention is expanding our musical offering to address the interests of a broader base of musicians.

Two new musical groups are joining our ranks by sharing their talents and skill sets:
*International Western Music Association: iWesternMusic.org
*Happy Music Center HappyMusic.com

Is this a new musical movement?
No, we have been collaborating with members of these groups for years. This is an emphasis change.

The 2024 National Accordion Convention that was held in the Dallas, Texas, area was successful! For evidence, view the more than 200 pictures and 50 videos that the conventioneers are sharing with the accordion world. True, it was not a perfect convention. Perfection is reserved for the next life.

As always the convention invites other nearby accordion associations to participate. Also, as always, you are invited whether or not you are in a local group. In the coming weeks, we will be designing, workshop sessions that include the musical expertise of the collaborative groups.

We will have a swap shop with new and used accordions, repair expertise, medical professionals to provide advice concerning care of the hands, sessions on general musicality, and practical performing tips. So mark your calendars and stay tuned for further updates.

Registration will not be available until November 1, 2024
Hotel Reservation Closing Date: Monday, February 17, 2025
