DavidFR Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Does anybody know of anyone giving concertina lessons (either Irish or English style) in the Greater Boston (MA) area? Thanks in advance!
jdms Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Chris Stevens is based in Maine, but does come to Boston to teach from time to time--there was a thread about it nearly a year ago (should be right about here). He plays Irish style, and I've heard good things about his teaching from a number of people. I've also been hearing good things about Jody Kruskal's Skype lessons. jdms
Lawrence Reeves Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Florence Fahy is now living in the Boston area. In addition to Florence, and Chris, you could find George Keith. All should be accessible through the Boston area Comhaltas.
Jim Van Donsel Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 I'd also highly recommend the CCE Irish music school in Boston. I think Chris Stevens is teaching again this year - an excellent player and teacher. http://www.ccebostonmusicschool.org/ It's a small-group setting. The semester starts at the beginning of February.
RP3 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Hi David, Florence Fahy has moved to the Boston area and is an excellent anglo teacher from North Clare. Here is a website link that can help you get more information about her: http://www.learningmusician.com/flo_fahy She taught at the Southeast Tionol in Atlanta last year and did a great job. Based on that, she also has a nice bunch of tunes! Ross Schlabach
Alan Miller Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) David: I am taking lessons from Flo Fahy when she is available. She is just back from a couple of weeks back home, and she is working 5- 6 days a week. Chris Stevens is teaching at the Comhaltas Music School on Saturdays again this semester. Both Flo & Chris are excellent. George Keith is not teaching concertina, although he does teach fiddle at Comhaltas school. I can put you in touch with with Flo or Chris. As I say, both are great players and excellent teachers. Alan Edited January 15, 2011 by Alan Miller
