About me
I am a traditional musician, teacher, and researcher with specialties in Irish fiddle music and community singing styles from around the world. Built on years of intensive study and research, I strive to create spaces for genuine engagement with folk music and its particularities, whether it be in private lessons, small group experiences, or large workshops.
I offer lessons on a variety of instruments and voice, as well as group workshops in Irish traditional music, song, and other community choir traditions.
In my view, the most satisfying way to engage with any music is as deeply as possible. Even with limited time, I try to create programs that get to the heart of what makes traditional music interesting.

Offerings
Performances
Hire me for live music at your event. Fiddle tunes and Irish ballads galore. I am comfortable running traditional music sessions, providing background music for parties, and performing intimate concerts.
Private Lessons
I offer private lessons on fiddle, guitar, piano, and voice. If you want to learn a few tunes, find more strength in your singing voice, or brush up your accompaniment and improvisation skills, I’ll work with you to find a personalized course of study to hone your skills.
Workshops
Book me to come work with your community choir, teach at your singing weekend, or teach at your traditional music school. I have experience working with teenagers and adults of highly varied musical backgrounds, bringing energetic instruction across a range of music.
Research
I have experience conducting fieldwork and interviews for oral history and musicology projects. I would be an asset to any ethnomusicological study project, with comfort writing and researching in a number of folk music genres.
