Hello, I’m Liz Doherty
Award-Winning Teacher
My Story
I have been teaching Irish traditional music for over 30 years in Ireland and around the world. And here’s what I’ve learned.
Teaching traditional music is tough! There is no system, no structure, no support, and little training.
This is what I did to make my teaching better.
I mapped out the LIFELONG LEARNING JOURNEY for traditional musicians – so that I am 100% clear about what my students need at any given time.
I created a FRAMEWORK that lays out a clear structure and system for planning, organising and delivering my teaching.
I developed a TOOLKIT of resources, and skills, and secret weapons designed to make my teaching better for me – and for my students.
Now I want to share this with YOU – to help make your traditional music teaching more EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE and PROFESSIONAL.
