Heritage Arts Productions, Inc, supports the music and dance that until now has been handed down from our talented parents,
grandparents, and other ethnic influences. We plan to add to this natural process by encouraging the sharing of these talents from
professional to student.
Heritage Arts has commissioned Houston Accordion Performers to initiate their fall enrollment for button and keyboard accordionists. This will include 8 weeks of lessons for adults
and youth. The accordion will be furnished and will be owned at the end of the 8 weeks. The student will learn to read
music, be able to perform 10 to 12 solos, and will have the opportunity to show off at the final concert.
Our selected instructors are leading professionals in the Houston area. There will be visiting performers as well as in-house
instructors. There are fantastic performers that inspire us - but they sometimes don't understand the difficulties that beginners
encounter - that is where the combination of our staff of professional instructors, which are performing entertainers and visiting performers -
make a perfect pairing.
