Individual instrumental tuition forms the backbone to daily activity at Newpark Music Centre. Lessons in a wide range of instruments and styles are available with experienced and dedicated teachers available each day to cover all needs.

Performance activity within the school is strongly encouraged and supported by regular student concerts, participation in chamber and orchestral groups, as well as involvement with our well - established annual Festival.

Assessment and feedback on student progress is achieved through end of term reports and results from external examination bodies. Teachers at the Music Centre enter pupils for Trinity Guildhall, Royal Irish Academy of Music and Associated Board of the Royal School of Music examinations.
