From September, children and young people throughout the county will have opportunities to access music tuition in three new ‘instrument hubs’, thanks to Music Generation Clare.

The ‘hubs’ – which will be based in Kilkee, Killaloe and Ennistymon – will open weekly, offering group lessons with skilled professionals for national and secondary school children in guitar, percussion, violin, keys, and more.

The launch of the three new centres follows the success of Music Generation Clare’s Ennis Instrumental Hub. The locations of the three new hubs have been strategically selected to ensure close geographic access to affordable tuition for as many more children in the county as possible.

The tutors working at each of the Music Generation hubs – all highly experienced practitioners and performers – will share their skills with the young participants, develop creativity, and build towards end-of-term performances and recording opportunities. Music Generation Clare will also make a range of musical instruments available for hire at very reasonable rates.

  • Group classes will be available for children and young people from second class to sixth year
  • Sessions are priced at €6 per week payable in instalments throughout the year
  • Tuition will be offered in Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keys, Percussion, Concertina, Violin and Banjo

Tuition dates:

Ennistymon: Mondays, commencing in September 2018, after school, Ennistymon Vocation School

Kilkee: Mondays, after school, St Joseph’s Community College, Kilkee

Killaloe: Wednesdays, after school, St Anne’s Community College, Killaloe
