One of my Irish fiddle students is moving to San Francisco or environs in March. He is quite talented and he practices a lot, but he's only been taking lessons for about two months. Can anyone give advice on finding an Irish fiddle teacher in the Bay area?

I've sent the query to a friend who lives in the SF area and is heavily into the Celtic Music scene.

I'm sure Joe Offer and others from the area will help as well.

I very highly recommend Radriano's housemate Erin Schrader, as I'm sure Radriano will too when he sees this thread. Erin is a fine teacher as well as a very well-known Irish fiddler on the West coast, a great fiddler. She recently moved to San Francisco from Seattle. You might want to send Radriano a PM.

Pauline, I would recommend that you find a fiddle teacher who actually performs Irish music rather than someone who plays another style and "knows about" Irish music.

You might post your question to the IRTRAD list -- a number of San Francisco people are there.
