Bodhran Lessons in Tappan. Amazing Teachers.

I've played guitar since I was only eight years old (over 20 years!) in many different bands, styles, and genres. I played in a traditional Irish ensemble when I was in college and have since picked up bodhran and several other instruments used in that style. I love playing and teaching Irish music.

I've been playing the bodhran for nearly 10 years and would love to help get you started! I studied the instrument in Ireland both in lessons with Jimmy Higgins, played in sessions, and in group context at the Craiceann.

Learn techniques to get sounds from the frame drum and use the tipper stick to swing and play traditional Irish 3 feel as well as other stylistic expressions on the instrument.

Development of technique and proper timing.

I have been playing Bodhran for about 3 years now. Needless to say, my favorite experiences with it have been playing in Ireland with the other trad musicians there. Nothing beats a session in Doolin!
