Irish Fiddle, Irish Flute, Whistle, Irish Pipes, Piano and more!
Ability Level Group Classes (Ceili Band) for Ages 8-18yrs


Katherine Irwin Thomas founded the Atlanta Junior Ceili Band in the fall of 2005 because of her desire to pass on Irish music to the next generation of musicians in Atlanta. All music is taught by ear and several students have qualified for the All- Ireland Fleadh at both the Midwest Fleadh and the Mid-Atlantic Fleadh as well as received top awards at The Atlanta Irish Music Competition and local Feisanna. The AJCB is not just a music school, but it is also an organization where students form friendships and develop outlets for their musical creativity. Whether playing on stage or in the classroom, students learn quality music, valuable performance skills, make new friends and have fun. Irish music isn't just for today--- it's for a lifetime!
