The accordion I took 9 years
of lessons when I was a kid.
Still have it. My daddy bought
it in a pawn shop. It’s a Pigini
Ron was my duet partner
for Kiwanis Music Festival
competitions.
Our teacher was RONNIE MORRIS. R.I.P.
He entered us in Kiwanis competitions.
We both competed solo as well as duet.
I was also part of an accordion quartet
and an accordion orchestra.
We performed on
“Night of the Stars”
@ The Jubilee Auditorium
in Edmonton, AB in 1966.
Mr. MORRIS was our
wonderful band director.
We were a 50 piece accordion band.
My first part time job...
summer before grade 12
was teaching little kids
how to play the accordion.
The music school was called
Harmony Kids.
The man in charge
of the music school
left 2 weeks after hiring me
so guess who became the
bookkeeper, lesson scheduler
manager & accordion teacher
and security guard? I did.
1992 my life came full circle
back to teaching music
and I love every minute
with each of my students.
Debra Peters
Debra’s a great teacher.
She is really good on technique,
which is really important
for progress in the long run.
Also, she plays every style there is, which is really good
if you are interested in
different styles.

Debra Peters has been an instrumental
musical influence on both my children.
My kids began lessons with Debra at
an early age (5) and continue to be driven
by the love of music to play piano,
now 5 and 8 years later.
My children each had a different learning style
as one was inspired to play by sound and the other preferred sight reading. Debra was able to modify lessons to meet the needs of both kids, first instilling the love of music through preferences for method and type of music, then doubling back around to the more challenging areas to ensure complete and comprehensive training once they were “hooked”.
I’m so grateful to Debra for her excellent teaching skills and the gift of musical
creativity that will be in my
children’s lives forever.

Our Daughter Rebecca Jane
received monthly Accordion Lessons
from Debra Peters
from April 2013 until May 2015.
We met Debra at the 2013 National Accordion Convention. Rebecca was impressed with Debra’s Skill and Knowledge of this
very complex instrument.
Both Debra and Rebecca bonded quite nicely and our daughter learned a lot from Debra.
She made great progress from Debra’s Lessons and over the years Rebecca developed exquisite Playing techniques and advanced tremendously in her Music Theory.
We could not have been happier with having Debra Peters as our daughter’s Accordion Teacher. As Rebecca got better and more proficient in performing and was offered Gigs
we decided to stop Music Lessons due
to Time Constraints.
We highly recommend Debra Peters
as a Accordion and Piano Teacher.
She is very knowledgeable and devoted
and does Thorough and Fun Lessons.
Her Teaching CDs are sold all over the
world and loved by many.
Debra Peters is a Veteran in the Accordion World and has been hosting the Monthly Accordion Round-Up at the Legendary
Broken Spoke Dance Hall in Austin for 25 years.
She is also involved in the Annual National Accordion Convention in Dallas, The Texas Folklife Big Squeeze Accordion Contest and performs in the Greater Austin area and
Venues all over the US and Canada.
