Music Performance

Overview

Key Features

The Music Performance programme of the Royal Irish Academy of Music offers the following concentrations:

• Keyboard

• Strings

Through the generous 2 hours of one-to-one lessons per week, students have the space to concentrate on both technique and repertoire, and develop a rapport with their principal study teacher. In addition to this, students also have access to visiting artists in masterclasses, multiple chamber music coaches, performance class tutors, accompanists and sectional tutors, which include principal players from Ireland’s professional orchestras. I believe that having access to multiple teachers is vital in exposing students to different teaching styles in order to develop an open-minded approach to learning.

• Vocal Studies
