Frequently
asked questions.

Do I have to be able to read music?

Did you know how to drive before starting driving lessons? Did you know how to speak French before starting French classes? Did you know how to do a headstand before going to yoga? You don't need to know how to read music in order to start music lessons. We are here to guide and support you literally from the very beginning. If you have played by ear before and are nervous about not being able to read those tiny black dots, fear not.

There are only 7 notes to learn: A, B, C, D, E, F and G, plus a few funny signs like sharp, flat and natural. One student even renamed the sharp sign (#) a hashtag.

Do you offer online lessons?

In March 2020 all our classes moved online, both 1-2-1 instrument and group theory classes. We didn't miss one single class when the first lockdown was announced in Ireland. Overnight we seamlessly migrated to a digital music learning platform for all our students, parents, and teachers. We successfully taught over 3,800 Zoom music lessons over sixteen months, a staggering statistic of which we are very proud.

Some of our students prefer the online learning experience as it suits their location/schedule/lifestyle/commuting/family commitments better. We are delighted to offer our students the choice of online music lessons rather than attending lessons at our premises in Killaloe, Co Clare. Kindly contact the office if you wish to avail of this option. In September 2021 we launched our innovative and dynamic Munster Music Digital Academy.

You can live in Killaloe, Kilkenny, Korea, or Kuwait and learn online with our international team of dedicated, sensitive, highly experienced teachers from the comfort of your own home. Enquire today by completing our enquiry form.

How do I pay for lessons?

We do not accept payment for lessons on a weekly basis. Each term of lessons is due for payment in full in advance without exception. All students are issued invoices via email two weeks before the beginning of term. All lessons must be paid for within 14 days from the date of invoice. If payment is overdue by two weeks, Munster Music Academy’s Director reserves the right to cancel future lessons until payment has been received in full.
