Irish fiddling with the real feel.
Even if you didn’t grow up in an Irish traditional music setting, you can still develop that telltale lilt. I’m here to help you develop those skills.
Hi, I’m Hannah!
I’ve been playing Irish traditional music in some shape or form since 2002, but made the official conversion from classical to Irish shortly after college and haven’t looked back. I’m a performer, a teacher, a troubleshooter, and most importantly a lifelong learner who loves to share that process.
If you’re here to develop your Irish fiddle lilt, you’re in the right place. If you’re here to listen to Irish fiddle music, you’re also in the right place.
Here’s how we can work together:
Master phrasing and learning tunes by ear in the Tune Library.
1:1 private lessons via Zoom
Online workshops (see upcoming events below)
In-person workshops (see upcoming events below)
Other ways to connect:
Tune into the Find Your Lilt Podcast
Listen to my albums on Bandcamp
Book or attend a Sionainn Laoi duo gig
