I've taught piano accordion for many years. I've been playing nonstop since I was nine. As a veteran alternative school teacher and teacher of different learners, I teach all ages. I especially love to work with adults who are trying to remember how to be beginners. My lessons are seriously individualized. In my home in North Oakland.

​Testimonials

“Joel Weber is an excellent accordion teacher. He's very patient and encouraging. He's extremely observant to people's strengths and weaknesses with the instrument and is great at coming up with the exact method that would work best. Also his polka rendition of Outkast's "Hey-Ya" is incredible.”  –Tyler Colton, Oakland

“I’ve been taking lessons for more than seven years, and each new one is still fresh and fun.  Joel is patient, funny, and interesting.  I never feel pressured.  He tunes in to what I like and teaches from there.  He completely responds to what I want to do, whether’s it’s rembetika, Italian, Balkan, transcribing bouzouki music, or whatever.” –Karen Sprague, Berkeley      

"Joel Weber is a kind and patient teacher, and I was grateful for both qualities as I played ‘Vegetables on Parade’ for the 120th time. Teaching accordion is clearly an enjoyable labor of love for Joel and it shows.  He went at my pace, encouraging me at every turn, and by the end of my first year of study I was able to play every song in my beginners songbook with great enthusiasm. I highly recommend him to anyone who wishes to play."  --Galadrielle, Berkeley 

"I can highly recommend Joel Weber. He teaches accordion in addition to being one of the directors and teachers at Holden High School, an alternative school in Orinda where the teenagers (and parents and staff!) just adore him! He told me he teaches any musical style...."  --Susanne, Kensington, Holden Counselor, in Berkeley Parents Network
