Teacher
Hi Meredith-I just saw your post from 2006 about looking for a teacher on Long Island. I'm looking for one as well (I live in Ridge, near Shoreham) and was wondering whether you found anyone? Thanks.

found teacher
Hi Sean,
I just found a teacher myself, but have not contacted him yet. His name is Brendan Dolan at 917-952-6045. I think that's his cell phone. I got his name from the Irish American Hall in Mineola. They have him listed on their website as a tin whistle teacher. I am going to try to contact him this week.
I haven't found anyone else on LI. There is a teacher in NYC. He only gives classes in the evenings during the week. He does have these 2 hour workshops every once and a while on a Sunday. I don't have his info, but do get emails when he schedules a workshop.
Good Luck!
Meredith

Meredith-Thank you so much for the info. It was very nice of you to take the time out to get it to me. Best of luck and Happy New Year.
Hi Sean -
I just received the email below about a tin Whistle instructor. He is in NYC. I don't know if this is helpful. Were you able to contact the instructor in Mineola?

Meredith

Instructor
Hi Meredith-Thanks again for the info. I appreciate it very much. I haven't contacted the instructor in Mineola. I've heard wonderful things about Bill Ochs. I'd love to take classes with him, but I can't get into NYC on a regular basis with both my wife and I working and a 1-1/2 year old at home I may have to take Bill up on his Skype classes when I can. Thanks for that info-I didn't realize he did that. BTW, the Irish Arts Center is a great little location. I was there in July, and took a flute lesson with Kevin Crawford: phenomenal teacher and player. Cillian Vallely also taught tin whistle in the a.m. and uilleann pipes in the p.m. Take a class there if you can.

Brendan Dolan
I took a week long beginner whistle class with Brendan at the E. Durham festival. He is a wonderful teacher and a very patient gentleman. He also teaches at the advanced level, so I can unreservedly recommend him if you are lucky enough to tie him down long enough to get lessons.

I will be teaching a tin whistle class in Rockaway, Queens on Tuesdays at 6:30pm starting November 11. This class is for adults who are comfortable playing the scales of D and G major on the whistle.

Classes: Tuesdays 6:30-7:30pm (starting November 11)
Price: $10 a class
Website: http://www.cuezonerecords.com/cuzonecol ... /rice.html
Location: 175 Beach 124th Street Belle Harbour, NY 11694
