What was your first music teacher like?

Fiddle teacher Niall Mulligan once taught Dylan James and had a lasting impact on the way Dylan approaches music and teaching. Today, both are respected musicians in New York’s Irish music community.

In this Q&A, we talk about Niall’s beginnings in Irish music, Dylan’s transition from fiddle to banjo, and the influence of dance on their playing. Plus some parting words of encouragement for anyone learning an instrument!

Our students said it best. ✨

Patient. Knowledgeable. Encouraging. Approachable. Inspiring.

Ok, we’re a day late for Teacher Appreciation Week, but honestly, our teachers deserve 365 days of appreciation.

Thank you for helping us improve, one lesson at a time. 💚
