ATG Days – Accordion Teachers Guild Archive

Welcome to my Accordion Teachers Guild (ATG) Archive — a collection of cherished memories from ATG International festivals and orchestra performances. This is a special place where I share happy images from my years with the Accordion Teachers Guild including receiving Certificates of Recognition in 2014 and 2015 for performing in the Accordion Orchestras. I met many talented musicians I wish to honor here on my website. ATG is a great place to make lifelong friends in the accordion world — especially under the baton and direction of the legendary Joan C. Sommers.
