I take lessons in my bush studio (pictured here) on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the day or in the evening. I can consider other times for evening lessons by negotiation.
   
Phone me for details on 09 8149203 at night or email on barb.bycroft@xtra.co.nz.

All music taught is Celtic in origin (Irish, Scottish) for beginners or experienced violinists.
  
I have compiled 2 books of exercises, notes and tunes for sale with the lessons. One is introductory; the other contains sets of tunes (jigs, reels, hornpipes etc) along with explanations of the ornamentation which gives the distinctive Celtic sound.
   
There are 5 CDs for sale with the tunes played both slowly and up to speed.
  
Lessons follow through the relevant book and CD and involve the student playing together with me while learning in the Celtic aural tradition - but using music notation as a guide and memory aid.
