experience required.

Singing, Piano and Theory exams with The Royal Irish Academy of Music

We often find that having a goal to achieve can really focus the student and with this in mind we offer Royal Irish Academy of Music exams in Classical Singing, Musical Theatre and Piano. When students receive their certificate, there is an immense sense of achievement which further encourages a confidence and love for their instrument.

Junior and Leaving Certificate Music Practical exams

We also help students with Junior and Leaving certificate practical exams in music. It can be incredibly frustrating to produce a programme for practical exams that show off vocal and instrumental ability whilst also exploring different genres. With our direction we can help our
students choose a suitable and enjoyable programme to wow any examiner.
