Irish Fest School of Music

Opened in the fall of 2002 at the beautiful Milwaukee Irish Fest center, a dedicated faculty of musicians has come together to offer instruction in instrumental Irish traditional dance music to students of all ages. Private lessons, group classes, and workshops are offered for Irish music students of varying ability levels.
