The article covered the school's pandemic move to online teaching. Founded in 1997, the school formerly taught in person near Boston College and Harvard, with instruments including fiddle, accordion, flute, whistle, bodhrán, guitar and traditional singing. The switch to Zoom unexpectedly drew students from Connecticut and New York.
Then-Chairperson of the branch, quoted in the feature.
“We felt very strongly that it was important to keep going somehow.”
“Our goal was to have the feel of a class — it's a shared experience you can enjoy together.”
“I'm a firm believer that the best method of teaching and learning music is live and in person, sitting next to someone.”
Online or in person, our classes are open to all ages and levels.
