 A new accordion school has opened Houston, Texas, called ‘Houston Accordion Performers’. The owners, Sheila Lee and Mark Ropel, are both experienced teachers, and have studied with Willard (Bill) Palmer and Anthony Galla-Rini. Shelia also recently produced an instructional DVD for GCF diatonic button accordion, which is due out in September.The school opened in June and has teachers giving lessons in chromatic, piano, and GCF diatonic button accordion. Sheila and Mark are promoting a “studio environment”, with private, group, and band lessons, emphasizing styles like Tex-Mex, Norteño, Conjunto, Zydeco, and more. In addition to Sheila and Mark, the studio’s staff includes Mario Pedone and Ross Witte. Houston Accordion Performers will hold an all-day celebration on September 12th to celebrate its grand opening. The day will start with the studio’s accordion band appearing in Houston’s Fiestas Patrias International Parade, followed by a concert at the studio. |
