The Dublin School of Music is the perfect place for young kids to explore and develop their love for music. The teachers are not only highly skilled but also multi-instrumentalists, which has been an incredible advantage for my 5-year-old.

No. We can lend a piano, drum kit or orchestral instrument during your lesson. However we strongly advise people to get their own instruments, practice makes perfect! For home practice we’ll advise on affordable rental or purchase options—and our teachers will guide you on sizing (e.g., violin, guitar).
Tuition starts at €30 for a 30 minute one‑to‑one lesson. We also offer 45 and 60minute slots, term bundles, and discounted sibling packages.

We provide live, interactive online lessons via Zoom for students who travel often or live outside Dublin. Hybrid plans - mixing on‑site and online sessions - are also available on request.
Our faculty covers classical, jazz, pop, rock, musical‑theatre, and contemporary songwriting. Tell us your goals - whether that’s Chopin nocturnes, jazz improvisation, or chart‑ready pop - and we’ll match you with a specialist teacher.
Absolutely. Each term ends with optional student recitals in our on‑site performance hall. We also organise outreach concerts and local festival entries, giving students of all ages real‑stage experience in a supportive environment.
