Anyone have any personal experience of fiddle teachers in the Binghamton area? An acquaintance is looking for a teacher for her nine-year old. Google has turned up Hope Grietzer, but I thought I'd check here as well.
Hope is my teacher, my daughter's as well (starting at age 9). She does a top rate job with kids and adults, and is just a nice lady in addition to being a terrific fiddler. She also hosts a monthly "Kids Jam" group at no charge, which goes a long way towards keeping the kids interested in the social aspect of the music. She has a website www.happyhollowmusic.com with her credentials. Her email is hopegrietzer1@netzero.com.
Pat Kane is a friend of mine. He's inspirational, quite fun to listen to and more pure drop. He is a full time performer, and doesn't normally take students. His website is http://www.westoclare.com/
