MISSION STATEMENT

The Michigan Accordion Society, established in June, 1996, is an association for promoting and sharing the music of the Accordion. Currently there are over 150 members and we are growing monthly. Our first purpose is to promote the Accordion as a beautiful and versatile instrument. It is capable of accompanying music of all types, from classical, jazz, and rock, to the more traditional polkas and folk songs. We would like to see more young people learning how to play and appreciate the Accordion. Our second purpose is sharing Accordion Music within our communities.
Our monthly meetings include professional artists and amateurs playing a variety of music All members are encouraged to participate in the "ACCORDION JAM". In addition we help advertise where and when our members are playing. We hope to get some small ensembles playing at local malls, schools, and churches to share Accordion music with the public.
