Now Enrolling for Second Term Group Courses

Waltons New School of Music

We are now enrolling for a wide range of acclaimed group courses, both in-school and online, taking place in our Second Term (January – April 2022). In-school courses 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 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.) Most of these courses start the week of 24 – 29 January. They include:
