I really enjoy setting students up properly to learn Irish music, both in establishing postures that won’t lead to pain and mindsets that keep the learning process fun and active. My bio is below: Nathan Bishop is a violinist, Irish traditional fiddler, and teacher based in Somerville, NJ. A graduate of the Mason Gross School of the Arts, of Rutgers, he studied violin with Dr. Elena Chernova-Davis and fiddling with Cleek Schrey. Nathan has performed a variety of classical and folk traditions across the greater New York area and maintains a residency with his Irish band, Faoileán, at Flounder Brewing Co. in Hillsborough. He also heads the monthly Irish music session at that establishment. Nathan is currently the conductor of Hunterdon Musical Arts’ Music for Youth "Saturday Strings" program and runs a violin and fiddle studio for students of all ages out of his home.
