Noel Hill Irish Concertina School Oregon Class of 2003
Held at the Tilikum Retreat in a rural area near Newberg, Oregon, the setting was relaxed and comfortable with almost 100 acres available to roam.
While I could attempt to relate the details of my experience at this class, Craig Wagner has already written a detailed narrative of the 2000 Oregon based class that I think fully captures all the relevant aspects, so I can do no better than to recommend you read his thoughts on the 2000 class at Concertina.net. Most of the faces had changed by 2003, but the setting, the quality of instruction and the unique experience remains as he described it.
