We offer both in-school and online lessons and courses in our Summer Term. In-school tuition take 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.) And online lessons and courses take place where you are, which can be anywhere in Ireland or around the world. (See our Online Tuition Programme page for more information.)
Lessons
We offer lessons in our Summer Term for students of all ages and skill levels, and in most of the instruments and subjects we offer during the regular school year. (See our Summer Programme web page for a complete list.)
30-minute, 45-minute and 60-minute private (one-to-one) lessons are available. Partner lessons and small group lessons, designed for students at the same level of proficiency who enrol together, are available as 30- 45- or 60-minute partner lessons, 45- or 60-minute small group lessons for 3 students and 60-minute small group lessons for 4 students. Online partner and small group lessons are possible both for students in the same location and for students in different locations.
Group Courses
for Beginners
Taught by music educators with a wealth of experience, our Summer Introducing Courses have provided foundation tuition in a range of instruments, as well as singing, to thousands of absolute beginners over the years. Each term’s courses start from scratch and assume no previous experience.
