They Did It. You Can Too. Real People. Real Results. Discover Their Stories Inside...
Get inspired by the stories of everyday beginners who turned their “I can’t play” into “Listen to this!” and see what’s possible for you.
What If I Handed You The Exact Tools, Secrets, And Proven Methods To Finally Master The Accordion… And Made Sure You Actually Used Them?
Listen, you don’t need to be “born with talent.” You don’t need to start young. And you sure as heck don’t need to figure this out alone.
Here’s what you’ll get when you step inside the Accordion Joy Academy:
✔️ Private access to our inner circle community. The place where accordion lovers, from total beginners to seasoned players, share victories, swap tips, and lift each other up.

✔️ Complete lesson recordings, sheet music, video breakdowns, playlists, and books, all at your fingertips, so you’ll never feel stuck or lost again.
✔️ A rich, exciting repertoire built around classical gems, but customized to your taste. Want tango? Folk? Movie themes? You got it.

✔️ Performance coaching so you don’t just “play notes”… you tell stories through your instrument.
✔️ Weekly working schedules, study guides, to-do lists and action plans. No guesswork. Just follow the plan and watch yourself improve.
This is a rebellion against the idea that you have to be “born talented” or “start at age 5” to become a musician.
I’ll prove it to you.
They were scared. They were clueless. Now? They’re loving every minute and playing like pros.
Christine, 56, from Austria. "Nikola Brought Me Closer to the Life of Music"
I could already play the accordion, but I wasn’t living the music. Just going through the motions.
Then I started lessons with Nikola, and everything changed. He didn’t just teach me notes, he showed me how to feel the music, how to tell its story with every phrase.
If you think you’re too old, or not talented enough, or just can’t do it, trust me, you can. Nikola will bring you closer to the life of music, just like he did for me.
Folkert, 51, from the Netherlands. “I Was Stuck… Until I Found Nikola”
Before I started taking lessons with Nikola, I was stuck. Really stuck. I didn’t know what to practice, how to improve, or where to go next with my playing.
Now? Everything’s different. I play melody bass accordion (Bayan), and what I’ve learned with Nikola has taken my playing to a whole new level.
The depth of knowledge and experience he brings, you don’t find that easily. I mean it.
And it’s not just the lessons. The community he’s built, students from all over the world, inspires me constantly. We share ideas, styles, and experiences that push me forward every week. If you’re serious about improving, if you want real progress and real direction, Nikola is the teacher who can take you there.
Atousa, 62, from Canada. “At 62, I Found Joy in Music Again… One Step at a Time”
I never thought I’d enjoy lessons this much. But with Nikola, everything just works. It’s convenient, step by step, and somehow he always knows exactly what I need next.
He’s patient. He listens. And he gently adds just the right amount of challenge to help me grow.
Week by week, I see progress. Real progress. And more importantly — I enjoy it. Deeply.
If you think it’s too late to start, or that learning online won’t work for you… I’m living proof that it can.
And it does.
Andreas, 58, from Germany. "I Thought I Was Too Old... Too Untalented... Too Late to Start.... But I Was Wrong"
I never thought I could learn the accordion. It looked too complicated. I believed I had no talent. No music skills. And that, at my age, it was simply too late. When I started working with Nikola everything changed. He made it simple. Step by step.
Now I’m playing songs I never dreamed possible and loving every second of it. If you think it’s too late for you… trust me, it’s not.
Anneke, 69, from the Netherlands. "I Play Accordion to Keep My Mind Sharp, And It Works”
My mother had dementia. Watching that happen to her… it scared me. So I made a decision: I would do everything I could to keep my mind strong. That’s why I play the accordion.
Since I started learning with Nikola, my memory is clearer, my mind more focused — and I feel alive. He makes it easy to enjoy, even at 69.
And every time I play, I know I’m doing something good for my brain and my soul. Playing music keeps you sharp and with Nikola, it’s never too late to start.
Mateo, 16, from Germany. "From Struggling Alone to Playing the Balkan Music I Love"
I’m Meteo from Germany, originally from Croatia. Before I met Nikola, I was stuck trying to play Balkan folk music on my own and honestly, I couldn’t get far. Since working with Nikola, everything changed.
We’ve played countless Croatian songs I never thought I could handle. The things that felt impossible before are now part of my everyday playing. If you love Balkan music but feel stuck like I did, Nikola will get you there.
Why Settle for One Style… When You Can Master Them All?
Most beginners stop at one song… one style… one small win. Not here. Not you.
Because once you learn the system I teach… You won’t just play music, you’ll travel the world without leaving your home…
🎻 Baroque – Music that once echoed in royal courts. You’ll command it like a master.
🎹 Classical – The greats. Mozart. Beethoven. You’ll whisper their language through your bellows.
💃 South American – Think tango, milonga, the kind of rhythms that seduce people off their seats. (Warning: May cause spontaneous dancing.)
🎬 Pop & Movie Music – Themes that make people cry, smile, and remember. Everyone knows these tunes… and now, they’ll know you can play them.
🎩 Musette – That dreamy, nostalgic sound from a smoky Paris café. You don’t just play Musette, you paint a picture.
🎺 Klezmer – Raw. Soulful. Sometimes sad, sometimes wild. Always unforgettable.
🎷 Jazz – This isn’t “just notes.” It’s attitude. It’s freedom. You’ll feel it in your bones.
🍀 Irish Folk – Fast, fun, and full of character. You’ll be grinning every time you squeeze out a reel or jig.
🏴☠️ Scottish Folk – Stirring. Bold. Warrior music with soul. You’ll feel it in your chest.
🥁 Balkan Folk – Offbeat rhythms and wild melodies that dare you to stay in your seat.
🧠 Contemporary Classical – Modern, expressive, and unlike anything you’ve heard before. It’s where the old world meets the new.
And when they hear you play… they’ll ask, “Where did you learn to do that?”
You’ll smile… because you’ll know.
It started right here.
No talent? No problem. These students started where you are now... and look where they are today.
200+ students have already perfected their accordion skills with our support—are you next?
Hi, I'm Nikola, Your Teacher.
I wasn’t born with a gift.
At five years old, I picked up an accordion that was almost bigger than me. I didn’t know it then, but that single moment would shape the rest of my life.
Since that day, I’ve dedicated over two decades to mastering this beautiful, misunderstood instrument. And along the way, I discovered something powerful, you don’t need to be born with talent, perfect timing, or a famous last name to make music. You just need a little courage to start… and the right guide to help you along the way.
In 2020, I graduated from the prestigious ArtEZ Conservatory in The Netherlands with a degree in accordion teaching. But truth be told, most of what makes me the teacher I am today didn’t come from a classroom. It came from the stage. From competitions. From the nerves before a performance and the applause that follows. I’ve been honored to win the Dutch National Accordion Competition. Twice. But what matters more is this:
I know exactly what it feels like to think something’s too difficult.
I’ve seen students who thought they were too old, too inexperienced, or too busy. People who believed music wasn’t for them, until they realized it was.
That’s why I created Accordion Joy Academy. Because whether you’re 5 or 75, whether you’ve played before or not, you can learn to play the accordion. And I’ll prove it to you.
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I wish I could do that”, now’s your moment.
I’ll meet you where you are, and together, we’ll turn those old doubts into music.
WAIT! Before You Go, Don’t Miss Your FREE Trial Lesson!

Worried you’re too old? Too ‘not-musical’? Forget it. I’ve helped people in their 20s, 50s, even 70s pick up the accordion and play their favorite songs.
This is personal, friendly, and 100% pressure free. You’ll walk away smiling, I promise.
Spots fill fast, so if you’ve ever dreamed of playing, this is your sign.
