Meet Tina Eck, one of the accomplished musicians and educators who make WCM special.
Tina has taught Irish flute and tin whistle at WCM for 15 years, helping students discover the joy, history, and culture behind Irish traditional music. She fell in love with the music in her early 30s and went on to study with world-class Irish flute masters through workshops, camps, and frequent trips to Ireland.
Tina teaches everyone from beginners to advanced players, helping students develop their skills while connecting with the wildness, melancholy, and happiness of this musical tradition. Her performance experience spans everything from Irish pubs to the Irish Embassy, Strathmore, and the Kennedy Center Concert Hall.
“Learning NEVER stops — you will never be ‘good enough,’ and that’s the beauty of it.”
