With our teacher accreditation programme, the AATA is able to offer experienced and professional teachers the opportunity of an industry recognised certification, adding additional level of professional credibility to their already high standard of accordion teaching.
Whereas high level AMEB exams are the norm for other classical instrument and piano teachers, these type of qualifications are less common in the accordion world. We encourage all accordion teachers to achieve these types of external qualifications, and also see our accreditation as a viable alternative for those teachers, (particularly those that have previously studied accordion to a high level overseas) to promote themselves as a leading accordion teacher in their community.
The Australian Accordion Teachers Association is committed to helping promote the accordion throughout the country, raising the profile of the instrument and supporting teachers to both attract more students and raise the overall standard of accordion education.
