Seán’s 2018 Beginner Fiddle Class. At the end of the week, these hard-working students walked away with alot of music and knowledge under their belts!
“ Sean is a fine teacher as well as an excellent musician. He communicates very well in a workshop setting and one on one. Not only is he very knowledgeable about Irish and Scottish fiddling, he can tell you subtleties about various fiddler’s styles because he has studied them and can translate their styles beautifully. His depth and breadth of musical knowledge and style simply takes your breath away! There’s such musical promise in Sean, and I highly recommend taking a workshop and/or lessons from him. ”
“To be a genius in anything is one thing but to also be a genius in the ability to go way back to the basics and articulate them with simplicity and compassion is another. Sean exemplifies this invaluable gift along with his extraordinary passion for fiddle and violin. I’m blessed to be his adult student. Highly recommended.”
