Irish Fiddle Lessons with Randal Bays

Online

I'm now offering online lessons using the free Skype software. IT'S EASY! If you haven't used Skype, click here to read up and get the free download. It allows two people to both see and hear each other in real time, great for music lessons. You'll need a computer with a camera either built-in or attached. [Note: I'm also using Gmail's video chat, which sometimes offers improved audio.]

My charge for a one-hour lesson is $50US, payable through PayPal.

I live in Seattle, USA, so I'm in the US Pacific time zone (GMT-8). I try to keep my teaching within the local times listed on this page, but I can be more flexible with Skype lessons.

If you'd like to arrange an online lesson or would like more information, please send me an email.
