Riley Irish Music School

I have begun intermediate Irish fiddle classes at the Riley School of Irish Music in Cincinnati. The class meets on Saturday mornings for an hour, followed afterwards by an informal snack period and then various levels of sessions begin. My instructor is Susan Cross, the school's founder, and she is an excellent player and teacher. During my first lesson, she said that I have a good ear and that my intonation is excellent. Susan stopped me single-bowing tunes and gave me some bowing patterns to learn, which will help me to accelerate the pace at which I can play tunes.
