I have been teaching people how to play the accordion - in person and online - for over 8 years, and I love my students! Becoming an accordion teacher was one of the most fulfilling accomplishments of my life. I earned a masters degree in music from the Faculty for Philology and Art at the University of Kragujevac (Serbia), and I've always imagined myself being in a position to help budding musicians achieve their fullest potential.
As an accordion teacher, I have the awesome responsibility of helping people learn to play this wonderfully fun instrument. As well, and in an appropriate manner, I teach my students about all aspects of music! That's why I named my website “Accordion 4 All”. It is my core belief that the world deserves to hear more accordion melodies in all genres of music. My mission is to be there for all of you, at all levels: beginners, intermediates, advanced, and experts. All who want to learn to play the accordion (this beautiful instrument) will be safe to do so within the tutelage of my teaching expertise.
If you are ready to dedicate yourself to this noble instrument, I will be there for you every step of the way. No pressure! Just pure guidance and encouragement! Give me the honor of teaching you how to play the accordion, and let's enjoy the music together!
I have been taking lessons with Aleksandar via Skype since July 2017. He is an honest, fair, patient, and genuinely good teacher. I highly recommend him.
I made more progress in 4 lessons with Aleksandar than I had after 6 years of trying to learn on my own. He is a superb player, a skilled instructor and above all, an energetic, encouraging coach.
I was very happy when I found Alexandar as my music teacher. He adapted quickly to my learning style, was very creative, and encouraged me along the way. Alexandar inspired me to keep practicing. I was able to play a song after just a few lessons! He is very flexible, supportive, and an excellent accordion teacher.
Aleks is a wonderful teacher. He’s been patient and helpful as I learn to read music and play the accordion. Once a week we meet on skype and talk about phrasing and tempo and style, as well as the simple mechanics of playing. He challenges me to be better, and praises my successes. Highly recommended!!!
Aleksandar has a deep love of music and a great talent for teaching. He is a passionate, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable instructor, and his lessons are well-paced and fun!"
My interest in the accordion started with wanting to play songs I liked. I told Aleksander the songs, and we began working towards them. Within no time, I was learning some of my favorites songs. Highly recommended!!!
Aleksandar is encouraging and polite. Even when I make terrible mistakes, he compliments my playing and then tells me how to improve. He has pushed me to play more and more difficult pieces.
Aleksander is a fantastic teacher and musician who helped me improve not only my accordion playing, but my overall musicality. He's great at analyzing your playing and shaping your practice to help you learn quickly and effectively.
Aleksandar has much knowledge and experience in accordion techniques at any level. He adjusts to your pace but will also encourage you to go a bit further. Remote lessons do not pose a problem at all. He is very thorough in responding and is also very flexible. He's very warm and understanding, I highly recommend trying a lesson with him.
I had no previous musical education when I got my mother's accordion. Though the challenge of learning to play a musical instrument at 69 was overwhelming, I decided to take lessons with Aleksandar over Skype. I found that Aleksandar was demanding but patient. I believe Aleksandar's lessons built a good foundation and placed me on a good path to continue learning.
What kind of straps are there?
There are several types of
straps that we use with an accordion: back straps, straps for
the left hand, and small straps for locking and unlocking the bellows.
Everyone notices that an accordion has a keyboard. On 99.9% of these squeezebox instruments, the keyboard is built into the righthand side of the accordion. The keyboard is composed of strategically orchestrated white and black keys, however, in some exotic instances, the colors might vary.

For the most part, the bass buttons on the left-hand side of the accordion are used for accompaniment. Bass buttons are aligned in a specific series or sequence.
The bellow is the middle part of the accordion, and its sole purpose is to pump air into the reeds. Without the bellows we wouldn’t have sound.
In today’s world, where every second counts and our very knowledge necessitates an instantaneous upgrade, online learning is an ideal way to efficiently and effectively invest in your continued self-development.
