Academy of Irish Music PDF Print E-mail

The Academy of Irish Music students meet weekly at the IAHC. Group classes and private lessons are available for flute, whistle, bodhran, fiddle, viola and cello. Students are divided into junior, intermediate and senior ensemble groups based on ability, experience and instrumental needs.

Students come from all over Chicagoland. Most participate in school bands and orchestras and many are Suzuki-trained. These kids really enjoy what they learn and for them playing music is all about fun!
The students of the Academy compete individually and as group at the Midwest Fleadh Cheoil, the qualifying competition for the All-Ireland music competition held each year in late August.

The Academy also offers adult lessons on a variety of instruments by Noel Rice.
Contact: Director Noel Rice at 847-564-1338 or visit their website at www.academyofirishmusic.org.
