I HAVE BEEN TEACHING traditional music for nearly thirty years and have formulated my own methods based on a deep knowledge of traditional music and an understanding of the path the music student must take.

The classes generally consist of three levels of classes, all online. The classes are supportive and encouraging, and with me there's always fun to be had as well. Each class level has a guide to help you decide which level would be best for you. If you're still not sure, you might wish to look at the material (tunes & exercises) we look at in each class. Or if you wish to discuss it, get in touch (send me an email).
