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 extensive equipment and procedures in place 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 for students all over Ireland and in other countries as well. (See our Online Tuition page for more information about 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.
