The June www.accordionusa.com news is online now. June is National Accordion Awareness Month. National Accordion Awareness Month was established in 1989 to help spread the word about the resurgence in popularity in the accordion and to educate people about the accordion.
AWW certainly educates and entertains the world about the accordion all year long! Did you know that there are 7 International Weekly accordion news sites in the following languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese and Russian? There are 3 National News monthly sites including China, USA, and Russia. There is 1 monthly Diatonic site. That makes 11 prominent accordion news sites on the planet!!!
The readership includes millions of people!! I think that makes the accordion a very prominent instrument worldwide!!!
How to celebrate? National Accordion Awareness Month activities can include:
1. Buy an accordion. What better way to honor this instrument than to permanently bring one into your life? Research the best and most affordable accordions and treat yourself to a wonderful instrument. Worried about the space it might take? No time to learn this instrument? Do a good deed and give it to someone who appreciates music, or donate it to your local music class. Send a little music/joy out into the world.
2. Take accordion lessons in person or online. Accordion teachers are available all over the world. You can learn from the comfort of your own home. Look for local accordion clubs to join and meet nearby accordion enthusiasts!
3. Support accordion players. Honor those who have put in the work. Attend their concerts/festivals in person, or watch them perform online. Purchase their music/albums from online platforms, etc. Share your discovery with the world and help spread awareness about the accordion.
Interesting fact: A renewed interest in grassroots regional musical styles, such as Zydeco, Cajun and Tejano, have resulted in the rediscovery and recent rise in popularity of the accordion in the USA. The June news includes information about videos, albums, festivals, artists, concerts and more!
It is very true that the accordion is the perfect way to meet new people, make friends, and expand your musical horizons.
