"I started learning Sligo-style traditional Irish fiddle with Brian ten years ago, as an adult student. He is one of the living pillars of traditional Irish music today, and I couldn’t have asked for a better tutor. Brian insists that his students push themselves, not to give up, and to move through the frustrating times. He expects us to practice, refine, and execute each tune to the best of our abilities each and every week. He matches his teaching to one’s level of competency and encourages us to do a little better every time. He believes in every student and doesn’t let us give up on ourselves. I can say, ten years later, learning fiddle from him has helped me become a better, stronger, more well-rounded person. And I can play Irish fiddle! Not as well as he, but then, who does?"
