Classes - Instruments
Classes in traditional music are organised for all ages and all levels of musician.
Classes are offered in the following instruments (subject to demand):
| Fiddle | Button Accordion |
| Tin Whistle | Flute |
| Piano Accordion | Concertina |
| Banjo/Mandolin | Harp |
| Traditional Singing | Bodhrán |
| Trad Guitar | Set Dancing |
| Céilí Drums | Piano Accompaniament |
| Céilí Band | Grúpaí Cheoil |
| Pre-Instrumental | and more... |
Classes are graded for beginners, improvers, intermediate and advanced musicians of all ages. Our teachers provide excellent tuition and all students will be encouraged to participate in the open music sessions which are held regularly.
Note that we will strive to provide a class for the instrument and level that you request, however a minimum number of students are required in order to support a teacher for each class.
The branch is committed to giving particular support to those with young families. A family fee allows the whole family, parents and children, to participate in as many classes as they wish.
Another practical support for families is our instrument loan scheme which allows parents to postpone buying an instrument for a trial period until satisfied that their child has taken to it. Instruments are limited, however, so members are advised to contact a member of the committee when enrolling.
All teachers and officers of the branch are Garda vetted.
For all enquiries regarding classes please contact us.
Pop-Up Session
We had a great response to our Pop-Up Session at Blanchardstown Centre to celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge!
Everyone enjoyed the tunes and the dancing, and we received many enquiries about our activities and events.
Míle buiochas don bhfoireann ag an Ionad, lá iontach a bhí ann! Many thanks to Ciara and the team at the Centre, without your support we could not have held this event!
