Hello Learners and parents! In this new fourteen week multi-day fiddle or mandolin class we will be looking at a variety of traditional Celtic music, including jigs (double, single, slip, hop), Hornpipes, reels, folk songs, and more! The repertoire will draw on Irish, Scottish, Shetland, and Cape Breton musical traditions. Here is a general outline of the tunes to be taught by week: Week one: Temperance Reel Week two: The High Road to Linton Week three: The Kesh Jig Week four: The Butterfly Week five: Wha’ll be King but Charlie Week six: The Teviot Bridge Week seven: The Rights of Man Week eight: The Harvest Home Hornpipe Week nine: The Swallowtail Jig Week ten: The Connoughtman’s Rambles Week eleven: The Calliope House Week twelve: Out on the Ocean Week thirteen: The Market Town Week fourteen: Lanigan’s Ball Some bonus tunes may include such standards as: Jackson’s Morning Brush, Planxty Browne, Planxty Irwin, Give me your hand, Merrily kiss the Quaker, The Spootiskerry Reel, The Cliffs of Moher, Morrisson’s Jig, Smash the window, The Inisheer Waltz, The Monaghan Jig, and Willafjord. Sheet music will be provided for all tunes taught in this class, and recordings can be provided as needed. Learners who play by ear are welcome, is not necessary for them to read music yet. This course is best for learners with at least some musical experience.

I grew up on a farm in Tennessee (USA) and in addition to music I also love raising rabbits, gardening, and reading! I and my husband currently live with our five beautiful children in the state of North Carolina. I am excited to be part of the Outschool family!
Music has always been a big part of my life, starting with classical piano, which I began at age 8, taking private lessons from a professor at the University of Tennessee. Later on, in my teens, my interests shifted to strings and traditional Appalachian and Celtic music. I learned from many people, including bluegrass musician Justin Moses and as a student of Jim Wood at the Jim and Inge Wood School of Music. As a young adult, I worked as a volunteer interpreter at Cade’s Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, teaching park visitors about Appalachian music. I have played professionally for weddings and other events, in restaurant house bands, as well as at the Museum of Appalachia in Norris, TN. I have led traditional music demonstrations for public school classes, in addition to teaching privately for many years.
I am passionate about introducing young people to traditional Appalachian and Celtic music and helping them perfect their skills!
I primarily teach fiddle/violin and Appalachian old-time and Celtic music, but also bluegrass, Western swing and Texas contest-style fiddle. I also play guitar, both standard and Celtic (DADGAD), piano, mandolin, recorder, penny whistle, mountain dulcimer, ukulele and Irish bouzouki.
I see each learner as a unique individual and cater my teaching approach to best suit their needs and interests.Reviews
