Both our Graded and Non-graded ukulele lessons include in house assessments and regular tests of the course content. All our lessons are tailored specifically to each students needs.
Theory Lessons
Music Theory provides a language for talking about music and an understanding of how it works. Studying theory helps to develop rhythm, ear training, reading, composition and many other skills. Without it; it is like being able to speak, without the ability to write.
Our theory lessons are not just applicable to the guitar, but all instruments and the skills developed are transferable no matter what instrument you play.
Vocal Tuition
Singing instruction for adults and teens is two-part, concentrating on both vocal technique and interpretation. The technique portion works on breathing, range development, vocal strength, flexibility, intonation and tonal quality.
The material chosen for interpretation work – which may include classical, jazz/blues, rock/pop, traditional music or musical theatre – is chosen with each student’s unique goals (and voice) in mind.
As it is not generally advisable to begin technical work before the age of 15, singing lessons for younger students concentrates on musicianship and interpretation skills only.
Music Grinds
Our Junior and Leaving cert music grinds are based around the current school year curriculum.
Whether just a little help is needed with course work, or preparation for exams, our lessons will help you develop the skills and confidence needed to take the stress out of exams.

Develop Your Fretboard Knowledge Fast, Learn The ‘CAGED’ System
Fretboard and Theory Lessons
Unlock The Logic Of The Guitar Fret-board
The CAGED system derives its name from the five “1st position” chords, or open chords, of C, A, G, E, and D.
The CAGED system is directly linked to the tuning and logic of the guitar fret board; it is built directly from the shape of these chords, and the relationship of where the “root” of these shapes is situated on the guitar fret board. The CAGED system is not the only way of making sense of the guitar fretboard harmonically, but is one way.
The CAGED system can be applied to all scales and chord shapes, and when combined with chord theory and harmonic structure will provide a complete and well rounded knowledge or the entire guitar fret board.
