Music Classes return for a new term in February 2026

We will have some limited capacity for new members in a range of classes which begin in February 2026 which is the beginning of Term 2.

You may only attend classes in Term 2, and you must have confirmed your attendance with the branch prior to arriving at classes.

Existing members to not have to re-register for Term 2.

Our class fees are as follows:

Junior class single term (12 classes): €100

Adult class single term (12 classes): €125

A 10% Discount is applied for a family availing of 3 or more classes.

There is a cap applied to the class fees for any family which participate in multiple classes. The maximum fees payable by a family are €450 plus membership.

On receipt of your registration, we will check that a class is available and confirm this with the participant.  We will then send you an invoice for the class fees and membership related to your registration, with any discounts or cap applied.

Membership of our Comhaltas Branch is required to participate in our classes. The membership rates are as follows:

• €6 for Junior (U18)
• €12 for Senior
• €20 for a Family membership. 

The membership fees will be added to the class fees for new members joining in Term 2.

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. We rent out instruments as required and subject to availability.  The rental rate is €10 per term. We request the instruments are returned at the end of each term for a visual inspection and there is an instrument rental form which is to be signed by an adult before an instrument may be rented.

All teachers and officers of the branch are Garda vetted.
