I recently came across a fascinating article which talked about the elements for being successful in life, traits that high achievers have in common. And……. I realized that people who play, learn and love the accordion also have these traits as follows:
1. Have a positive attitude………….everyone I ever met who plays the accordion, loves it.

2. Create their own opportunities……….Just read in this month’s news about accordion people who do great things! A BIG THANK YOU TO Faithe Deffner FOR HER LIFELONG DEVOTION TO THE ACCORDION!

3. Feel passion for what they do…………. We all have heard wonderful accordionists and they certainly are dedicated and devoted to their instrument!

4.Take action……………Every month you read about all kinds of accordionists at every level and the activities they are involved in. Get busy playing your accordion!!

5. Set compelling goals……………BEST WISHES TO CORY PESATURO WHO REPRESENTS THE USA AT THE Coupe Mondiale THIS MONTH!!

6. Know the value of serving others…………Share your music with everyone!! You will make others and yourself………HAPPY!!
