Times staff report
At Tuesday’s Elk Mountain Elementary School spring concert, visitors will have the chance to hear the accordion.
Garrett Irene has natural talent, coming from a musical family, but his work ethic surprises music teacher Jill McCann.
The youngster found his grandfather’s accordion when the family was cleaning house, and he decided he wanted to play. Making the transition from last year’s instrument of choice — the harmonica — to the air-controlled piano instrument, Irene had to work hard to learn from books and tapes purchased on the Internet.
The handful of Irene’s peers at the school will perform alongside Irene in their annual band and choir concert at 7 p.m. in the Elk Mountain Elementary gym. Students should also read their definitions of what music means to them.
