Fortunately, his fall classes begin shortly.

Yes Bill is teaching at the IAC in NYC and Jerry O’Sullivan is teaching at the Tara Circle in Yonkers.
Jerry’s advanced class has been with him for several years and we just keep learning new tunes.
Both are excellent instructors and both locations have ample parking for students.
Both locations teach more than just whistle and if you are as tone deaf as I am you may need to approach music from more than one angle to achieve the desired end result.
Bill Ochs is also giving private and advanced lessons at his home. You can contact him at
billochs@pennywhistle.com
If you are not in the area and cannot take lessons with Bill it is possible to contract him and buy one of his teaching CD with the sheet music? Bill usually has 8 tunes on a CD. He plays the tune and then breaks it down and puts each phrase on a separate track. It a great teaching method and well worth the price.
