~WINTER QUARTER 2012 ~

Here you will find a spirited and open community of children, teens, and adults dedicated to the pursuit of learning and teaching Irish traditional music.

 The Riley School opened for classes, January of 1996. The founder of the school, Susan Cross Gilligan, started the school in memory of her mother, Elsie Riley Goodman. Classes are mainly taught within the aural Irish tradition.  School is open 9:00 am to 2:30 pm each Saturday during the school year (Sept.-Jun.).

Irish traditional performers, teachers, students, and lovers of Irish traditional style are always welcome to visit.

Students provide a lovely homemade soup and bread light luncheon at mid-day!  Saturdays also have weekly sessions / slow jam / ceili band.

The school promotes various concerts and workshops throughout the year. You may find more information at the official website, including calendar.
