Lesson times for your chosen instrument are subject to tutor availability - you can help us to accommodate you by listing your preferred instrument on our waitlist (this just helps us plan ahead). -
We would generally suggest the earliest would be 5 years of age. That’s for piano for example - but it really depends on the instrument.
Get in touch via email or instagram DM and our music school Director, Brian McAuliffe, will be happy to advise accordingly -
Absolutely. All ages and all levels, from complete beginners to players returning after years away.
-
Not at all. Some students work towards graded exams, others learn purely for the love of it. Both are equally welcome here.
-
In our opinion there’s no such thing as as ‘easy’ instrument - they all have their challenges! The key is patience, practise and perseverance.
-
Piano is a great option for young aspiring musicians - it teaches all the fundamentals! Piano helps to teach notation and rhythm!
-
Ideally you purchase the instrument you want to learn so you can practise at home. We are always here to try to help source one.
Instrument rental is also available through our friends at Steamboat in Limerick and we're happy to point you in the right direction. -
All lessons are one-to-one and so concurrent, “sibling slots” can often be arranged to occur at the same time (secured on a first-come, first-served basis.)
Get in touch about next term and we'll see what's possible! -
The current term is fully booked now so our waitlist for enrolment for the January term will open soon.
Joining the waitlist just means you hear the moment places open up - meaning you can secure your preferred lesson time before we open enrolment to the public. -
Still have a question you’d like us to answer? We’d be happy to assist!
