It has been a true gift to learn with Mary, who brings wisdom, humor and plenty of encouragement to her teaching. As a beginner in the Irish tradition, I was astounded to be singing in Gaelic after the first class and felt the joy of my ancestors in doing so! Throughout the course, Mary shared her deep knowledge and experience, not only of the songs, but of the landscapes, history and culture that shaped them. I highly recommend her work to anyone who feels the call.
