WINTER  CLASSES - I've been teaching these tune learning classes for 14 years. The classes have two main goals... building a repertoire of good Irish session tunes, and improving at learning and playing by ear.

Class 1 - Tuesdays, Feb. 10 to March 31, 7pm Eastern (4pm Pacific)

Class 2 - Tuesdays, Feb. 10 to March 31, 7pm Pacific

Class 3 - Wednesdays, Feb. 11 to April 1, 7pm Pacific 

Email to sign up or for more information. $160 for eight classes.

These classes are only melody, we won't be getting into chords or accompaniment. The tunes will be taught by ear, with lots of repetition... we won't be using written music.


PRIVATE LESSONS on Irish fiddle – I teach private lessons on Zoom or at my place in northeast Olympia on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.

These are 55-minute lessons focusing on bowing, phrasing, ornaments, etc... how to make music out of all those notes. You can take a one-time lesson or sign up for more.

Cost is $60 per 55-minute lesson.

If you'd like to take lessons but money is tight, please don't hesitate to let me know and we can work something out... I really want everyone who's interested in Irish music to be able to take these classes.

Please send me an email to register or for more information. You can pay via PayPal, Venmo, or check. Thanks!
