She has taught at numerous summer schools and workshops including Scoil Éigse – the principal summer school of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann – and Scoil Samhradh Willie Clancy.
Gearóid Keating from West Limerick is an immensely talented musician who claimed the Senior All-Ireland Banjo title at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann last August. Coincidentally, he was the first banjo student of Daithí Kearney, now living and teaching in Youghal.
