Instruments Offered

We offer lessons in the following instruments:

Bodhrán
Clarinet
Concert Flute
Guitar
Irish Fiddle
Piano
Recorder
Saxophone
Singing (Voice)
Tin Whistle
Ukulele
Violin

A minimum teaching block of three hours is required for each participating teacher. (This minimum can be reduced to one hour in addition to a group course.) The block can be divided flexibly, depending on the students’ interests and skill levels, with six options available: 30-, 45- or 60- minute private lessons, or 30-, 45- or 60-minute partner lessons.

Participating students will need their own instruments (or access to instruments) to bring to their lessons and practice at home. For piano and singing lessons (and ideally for violin lessons), your school or centre will need an acoustic upright piano or digital piano with weighted keys, in good working condition and in tune. Because of the New School’s affiliation with Waltons Music Ireland, we can also arrange instruments – either for your school or centre to purchase or for parents to purchase – at discounted prices, if required.

Fees

Our outreach lesson fees are very reasonable and significantly lower than the fees charged in a music school setting, with the added advantage that students do not have to travel.

The tables below show the overall fees for a 3-hour teaching block over 10 weeks or 30 weeks, as well as the fees per student (for 30-minute lessons) and the costs per lesson. Schools classed as DEIS by the Department of Education receive a 10% discount off lesson fees.
