Bart Beninco Teachers

Few musicians achieve a true mastery of their instrument. Where the line between the musician, instrument, and the music converge into one harmonious whole. Bart Beninco is such a musician. Bart’s mastery of the accordion goes far beyond the technical aspects that he mastered in his early years of study. Expression and emotion can be clearly heard and felt, as each piece he performs has a life of its own.

Bart spent thirty years as a school band director at various elementary, junior high, and high schools. He also operated his own successful music studios in Connecticut, New York, and California. Bart moved to Petaluma, CA. in 1990 and is a longtime member of the San Francisco Bay Area Accordion Club, as well as a founding member of the Accordion Club of the Redwoods (Petaluma). His musical repertoire is varied, including ethnic, classical, jazz, and modern … all of which he plays with equal enthusiasm and skill.
