Classes are offered each Saturday during the term in Fiddle, Flute, Whistle, Anglo Concertina, Button Accordion, Uilleann Pipes, Harp, Guitar, Tenor Banjo, Mandolin, Singing and Bodhrán.
For kids, we offer a fun "Introduction to Whistle" Class ($60), as well as a "Guided Group" Class for young students interested in playing together for Fleadh competitions.
In addition, we are also offering a Ceilí Band Class for students who are proficient enough on their individual instruments and who want to learn the finer points of playing together in a band. There will not be any individual instrument instruction in this class but rather instruction on creating the best group sound possible, integrating the various instruments and making progress as a group. The teacher will make the final determination on class membership. The cost is $215 for the 10 week semester, or only $40 if a student is also signed up for a regular instrument class.
Classes commence at 9:00 AM, on the hour until 2:00 PM, and are held at the St. Columbkille Partnership School in Brighton every semester.
As an added bonus, to add more value to your experience at the school, there are 3 no-charge "Open Sessions" led by teachers every Saturday morning. You can attend these sessions after your instrument class to gain practice playing with others, practicing your tunes and experiencing what "playing in a real session" feels like. Check in with the desk after you start to determine which Session best meets your needs.
Registered students will be contacted prior to the beginning of each term regarding their class time and any subsequent schedule changes. The Instructors will evaluate students for proper class placement at the beginning of each term.
A small, portable recorder is highly recommended to assist in learning material.
