Hi

I'm in Kildare and starting on flute. I looked up online and could not find anything. Is there any flute lessons group or private (private would be best) around Allenwood, Coill Dubh, Timahoe, Prousperous or Clane or near any of them would be great.

I cater for the Drumcondra/Phibsborough area of Dublin and can do 1:1 lessons or small groups(maximum of 4). You will learn to read music correctly and play airs, jigs, reels and polkas.

If you are or know of anybody looking for lessons for their children or themselves, please do not hesitate to forward my number which is 086/1785210.

I will travel to homes to conduct lessons.

Looking forward to hearing from you or your friends/colleagues!

Thank you

Hi,

I've been playing guitar for a few years and I'm looking to get some lessons on playing traditional Irish pieces. Pointers on playing jigs, reels etc and different strumming patterns so that I can join in with trad sessions. I'm living in Rathgar so somewhere convenient to there would be great.

Cheers

I'm afraid it's not a very popular instrument and is looked down upon with traditional musicians, unless you are a Roma gypsy. The irish button accordion however is very popular and you should have no problem getting a teacher. My advice would be to switch. Button accordion is a better instrument and ud be playing in no time with the amount of quality teachers around

I realize that it's not a trad instrument in the traditional sense of the term, but it does fit well best with my other interests of music (klezmer, gypsy, Russian folk and so on...) and I have also seen the occassional piano accordion at trad sessions! But nonetheless, I do acknowledge and respect the fact it is not a classical trad instrument. I'm not going to make the switch and buy ANOTHER €350 accordion just so I can take lessons and play trad music.

I'm sure there must be someone somewhere in Cork city who can play the piano accordion!

I am Looking a instructors; martial arts, fitness, dance class etc. I have a hall/fitness studio in Kinnegad where we run classes out of. We currently have some free slots in our timetable and I was wondering would you be interested in setting up classes here.

Kinnegad is the 3rd biggest town in Westmeath. Athlone and Mullingar coming before it in that order. So it is an untapped area in my eyes.
We have being running the same classes for over a year but I would like to provide more to the area.

We also have good advertising space outside the hall right in the middle of town, so there would be no problem spreading the word and filling up your classes.

Please reach me out in my email: myentrepreneursuccess(at)gmail(dot)com

Please contact me to discuss further details!

Cheers!

Hey. I' m looking for some lessons in the limerick area to possibly improve my playing skills in any way, it would be mostly in terms of reading sheet music properly and any theory that may go with that. I play well enough but maybe with some guidance I could play better. Just looking to become more rounded if possible. Thanks.

Martin Legge

Anzu send me a PM and we can discuss a few lessons, I'm based in Limerick and can come to you. Is it piano you play?
