Our Students:
Our students – over twelve hundred each term – range in age from three to eighty-something. While we welcome those who study music purely for enjoyment (and offer a variety of instrumental, singing, theory and music technology courses for beginners), we are also committed to provide training for those who want to make a career of music. We offer tuition in most instruments and theory to teaching diploma level and beyond, as well as training in a number of specialised styles and instrumental techniques.

In addition to the teaching offered in our city centre facilities, the New School has developed, over the past several years, programmes designed to bring music to the broader community. These include the Waltons World Masters series, which has brought world-renowned musicians to Dublin for performances, workshops, masterclasses and concerts for schools, as well as interactive music and cultural workshops in our Outreach Programme that have travelled to several hundred schools and other organisations in Dublin and around the country and Music at Work, a programme designed to bring group music tuition right into the workplace.

Musical promise and achievement are rewarded at the New School through substantial annual scholarships and prizes. Two of our scholarships are offered specifically to mature students and beginners, groups most in need of the confidence-boost that comes from winning a music competition.

If you want to prepare for a career in music; if you want to learn to play an instrument (or to become more proficient on an instrument); if you want to understand and appreciate music, in all its varieties and forms, more deeply; or if you simply want to participate in the joy of music-making, the New School of Music is here to serve you.
