Tuition Offered
Both In-School and Online tuition are available this year. In-School tuition takes place in the New School itself, and we have made a number of changes to our equipment and procedures to make the school as safe as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic. (See our COVID-19 Safety Policy page for more information on what we have done, as well as the protocols we expect all In-School students and visitors to follow.)
We will also continue to offer Online tuition, which has been very effective in both our Third and Summer Terms. Online tuition has also allowed students living much further away to learn music with us – and we now have students not only living in other counties but in other countries as well. (See our Online Tuition page for more information on Online tuition with the New School.)
As always, we offer tuition for all ages and skill levels, and in the widest range of instruments and subjects of any music school in Ireland.
