The National Accordion Association has concluded on March 23, 2024, another exciting, entertaining, and educational convention in Lewisville, Texas. Led by President and Vice-president Norman and Sharon Seaton, attendees enjoyed three days of meetings and performances by some of the world’s best educators and musicians.

The convention was kicked off by a thrilling hour-long performance by Alex Meixner, who earlier was honored as Happy Music Ambassador for his contributions to education, advocacy of the arts, and spreading the joy of happy music. The Tulsa Accordion Association provided entertainment during the gala banquet. Veteran of many years, Dick Albreski from Oklahoma City conducted both the Youth and the Fun Bands with lively music of his own composition and arrangement in multiple parts.

The City of Lewisville issued a proclamation declaring last week as the Lewisville Accordion Awareness Week. Make www.accordions.com/naa a favorite on your browser.

The 2025 emphasis will be similarly focused on the continuing education of all levels of accordionists regardless of training or experience as they pursue excellence along a pathway to success.
