Enrolment & Fees

Our enrolment is continuous and lessons are one-on-one, meaning you can start at any time.

Typically, we enroll by the term or for a year, with the fees based on a 10 lesson course over 10 consecutive weeks costing €300. Or, if you'd like to dip your toes in first, try a three lesson "taster course" at just €99. (If you decide to continue after your three lesson taster, the €99 will be deducted from the full fees).

We offer all students the opportunity to benefit from discounted fees by signing up to an automated payment plan this reduces the fees to €27.50 per lesson.

I know that the most joy in my life has come to me from my violin.
