Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your first lesson.


Not at all! We offer instrument rental starting from €10/week for most instruments. This is a great way to try an instrument before committing to a purchase. Our teachers can also advise you on the best instruments to buy and where to source them in Ireland.
We welcome students of all ages — from young children (typically from age 5 or 6 depending on the instrument) right through to seniors. Our tutors are experienced in adapting their teaching style to suit every age group and learning pace.
Online lessons are conducted live via Zoom or Skype. You will need a decent internet connection, your instrument, and a device with a camera. We recommend using headphones to improve audio quality. Our tutors are experienced in delivering engaging, effective online lessons.
Absolutely. We encourage new students to book a single trial lesson first so you can meet your tutor and get a feel for the lessons. You can then decide whether to continue on a pay-as-you-go basis or block-book a term for a discount.
We ask for at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a lesson. Lessons cancelled with less than 24 hours notice may be charged in full. Term fees are non-refundable but lessons can be rescheduled with adequate notice.
Yes! We prepare students for ABRSM, Comhaltas, and other recognised music examinations. However, our primary focus is on musical enjoyment and traditional Irish music. Not all students choose to pursue formal exams, and that is entirely fine.
We accept payment by cash, bank transfer, or card. Pay-as-you-go payments are due before or on the day of the lesson. Term fees are payable in advance at the start of each term. You can use our online booking system to pay securely by card.
