Guitar Lessons are offered by The Irish Music School of Chicago.

The Irish Music School of Chicago teaches children and adults as it has been done for generations in Ireland and Irish communities around the world: as a collaboration between Irish musicians, teachers, students and the community itself.

Students learn almost entirely by ear with little to no reference to written music. The School does more than just teach students the tunes, though. In keeping with the tradition of Irish music, the School tells the stories behind the tunes, and the significance of being part of a living musical community, a community that values its senior members and is much larger than any individual.

From the first day, our students have fun with Irish music. By acquiring creative and social outlets that will last them a lifetime, they are able to make friends wherever they go. Our teaching philosophy demands that our students have access to and participate in all forms of Irish music.

As such, they learn how to perform in front of audiences, how to play for hours at sessions, how to play for dancers and how to help others learn to play. They can arrange themselves into groups, decide which tunes to play, and then figure out and memorize their own accompaniment parts and arrangements. Many of our students can do these things on multiple instruments.

Teacher's Experience
Erin Flynn grew up singing and learning to play piano and violin. Upon graduation from Northwestern University in theater arts, Erin became a teaching artist and performer for Redmoon Theater in Chicago. For two years, Erin lived in New York City where she worked at the Children's Museum of Manhattan - creating interactive and educational experiences for young children, developing original children's theater, teaching early childhood music classes, and learning to play guitar! For six years, Erin lived in Philadelphia, where she continued her career as a children's musician/performer and taught and directed a preschool for five years. She earned her masters in early childhood education at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia. For fifteen years, she worked as a teaching artist at the largest community arts school in the country and directed its stellar children's music program, serving up to 2000 students a week. She completed three graduate levels of Kodály music education certification at DePaul University School of Music. This is an amazing approach that roots itself in folk repertoire, singing, and community to develop musicianship and music literacy. It’s a wonderful approach to apply to learning Irish tunes and the fiddle. Erin is so happy to join the community of The Irish Music School of Chicago and eager to play music with our children and families.
