I'm looking to get a few lesson on B/C accordion in Brooklyn or Manhattan. I sent a few emails to people at local sessions, but to no avail. Anyone know of an established teacher or just an avid player willing to give me some pointers?
I am not current with the NYC area, but, In the region more or less, I might contact John Whelan (last I knew, still in Connecticut), and ask if he knows anyone who could help you.
john redmond, a bronx resident, is a gorgeous b/c player and teacher. you'll have hunt a bit because i don't have his email info, but he's the greatest....plus, there's john nolan, who's a ride away in or near yonkers, fantastic player and gentleman...
ha, here's a link to the "lessons" section of john nolan's site with a big color pic of john with a young up and comer.......brilliant player who teaches a lot....

Good Luck.
