What Lou Fanucchi's students say:
"For the past three years I've been taking weekly lessons with Lou. Not only have I made consistent progress with my playing,. plus my knowledge and appreciation of music has improved greatly."
- Ed Collins
"Louis is an accordion god. He's a PATIENT teacher who incorporates theory, technique and style into the lessons. His knowledge and love of music is an inspiration."
- Erin Quinn
"It is a privilege to have Lou Fanucchi as my accordion teacher. I began accordion lessons with Lou with an interest mainly in French Musette and Argentine Tango, but having an instructor who is also a virtuoso performer has been an inspiration and I am now fascinated with a wide range of accordion music thanks to watching Lou perform. Lou is a patient and professional instructor, and each lesson builds on the previous so that I'm never confused or uncertain about what direction we're going in. All the materials he uses in lessons are of high quality, designed with specific goals in mind, and are always entertaining. Thanks Lou!"
