ATG Festival - Lisle, IL

New to the ATG Festival this year is the first ATG “Petting Zoo,”  an event for everyone, young and old. Patterned after “petting zoos” held by major orchestras around the country, it presents an opportunity to anyone who would like to become familiar with an accordion--maybe for the first time--to do so with the guidance of an ATG member accordionist.

ATG Syllabus

The ATG Syllabus is an outline of both the Practical and Written requirements for completion of nine different levels related to the study of the accordion. This includes the requirements for solo performance, the building of technique in both hands, aural and sight-reading skills, as well as general musical knowledge. There are suggestions for accomplishing these requirements but there is room also for own choices to be made in the many selections of solos, exercises and studies. The works of many composers and arrangers from several different countries are included in these lists.

​

The price is $30 for ATG members and $50 for non-members.
