I’m always excited for Fall classes with BRIMS. Lots of folks are ready to settle into a new routine and take on a new challenge so I get a lot of first-timers. This fall I’m teaching 12-week adult and youth classes on Irish banjo/mandolin and bodhran drum. No experience required. Rental instruments available. Fun guaranteed.
