OUR CLASSES
Piano
The River Nore Music Academy offers tuition to girls and boys all skill levels aged 5-18 years. Students come to us to develop their instrumental skills, as well as to prepare for grade examinations (Royal Irish Academy of Music-Dublin, and Leinster School of Music and Drama-Griffith College) if they wish.
Most kids take piano lessons because they are fun. However, little do they know that playing an instrument is a lot more than just a hobby. When you play the piano, your brain runs at full speed.
Kids who take regular piano lessons have amazing concentration skills. This is because a pianist must manage multiple things all at once. They must use both hands, pay attention to the notes, play the pedal, and most importantly, read music at the same time. Once you master your skills of splitting concentration at the instrument, you will notice that your multitasking skills have improved immensely. Before the child enrols in the piano subject course, it is necessary to pass an audition for rhythm and musicality. No prior knowledge is required.
Guitar
GUITAR- ACOUSTIC, ELECTRIC AND BASS
This program offers tuition in a wide range of genres and styles, for students of all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re a child, teenager, adult or older person, learning guitar will help improve mental clarity and keep your mind sharp. You may not notice a change at first, but your mental clarity will gradually improve the more you practice. Being able to pick up your guitar, play with your friends, perform a song or writing your own music are all great experiences.
When to start lessons depends on the child’s coordination and attention span – and sometimes hand size. It is best for children to start when they are around 10, 11 years old.
Bass
The bass guitar, electric bass or simply bass, is the lowest-pitched member of the guitar family. It is a plucked, string instrument similar in appearance and construction to an electric or acoustic guitar, but with a longer neck and scale length, and typically four to six strings .
Since the mid-1950s, the bass guitar has largely replaced the double bass in popular music. If you’re a newbie to music, you might not even know the difference between bass and guitar.
In general, bass guitars are bigger than guitars, however, the guitar has more strings than the standard bass.
Flute
Violin
The violin is the smallest and highest-pitched of the string instrument family.
Violins are important instruments in a wide variety of musical genres – they are most prominent in the Western classical tradition and in many varieties of folk music, however they are also frequently used in country music, jazz, and even rock music.
Violins come in many different sizes. Typically, students will start learning violin at a young age with a 1/32 or 1/16 size violin. As the student ages they will graduate up to a full-sized violin
Viola
You play the Viola the same way as you do the Violin, resting the instrument between your chin and shoulder.
Pressing down on the strings with your left hand changes the notes and pitch of the instrument and your right hand moves the bow or plucks the strings.
Drums
Students will experience a range of elements, including Rhythms, Techniques, Musicianship, time keeping, drum playing and skill development.
Pre-instrumental Music programme
Designed for children between the ages of 4-6 who wish to explore different styles of music and instruments through fun. It’s a unique introduction to music and music-making, in a creative environment.
Pre – instrumental programme is created for groups. It can also be a great starting point for children with no previous classroom music experience. Classes focused on musical storytelling and movement, rhythmic and melodic notation, pitch matching and improvisation on the instruments.
Children will also explore the music of different cultures and different styles. If they want to have fun, relax, and enjoy music, this is the right program for them.
Keyboard group classes
If your child is interested to play different music styles and popular songs while implementing basic concepts of notes, rhythm and skills like fingering placement and scales, this is the perfect group.
Classes are conducted to help develop confidence, aural skills and musicality. Group keyboard classes offer a fun and unique approach to learning music and prepares students for one-to-one piano classes, more serious private study as well as playing in a band/ensemble.

Percussion Programme offers individual and group tuition in percussion instruments for students of all ages and skill levels.
Our drum musician educator teaches a wide range of music genres / styles including: Rock, Pop, Jazz, Metal, R&B , Funk etc.

Guitar Group class
If you think playing duets with your friend, sibling or parents is more fun, this is the right choice for you.
Share a lesson with them and experience jamming.
The importance of this goes beyond improving one’s own playing. It also helps you to play better in groups.
Playing in a guitar duet will give you the opportunity to play all roles; you get the chance to play melody, to phrase it just the way you like, or play a harmony or some type of counter melody, to be the soloist or accompanist.
Keyboard Theory and Solfeggio group classes
Solfeggio, sometimes called sight-singing, is the ability to read and sing music at sight. This is an incredibly important skill for all musicians. Theory of music is intended to help one understand the structure of music, the function of and the relations between its constituents.
Solfeggio is a discipline, which helps us develop and extend our musical hearing capabilities and the sense for rhythm.
Regardless of whether you are a professional or an amateur, the solfeggio and theory of music will contribute to your personal development.
This program is designed for students who attend any instrument in our school. It helps them to understand the music sheets and giving them confidence reading them.
Singing lessons
Taught by expert, Singing lessons are designed for experienced singers and complete beginners of all age groups.
When you learn to sing, you learn to breathe well, use your diaphragm and increase your oxygen intake and lung capacity.
Through the journey of learning a new skill, engaging with others and performing , you begin to believe in yourself more and in your power to succeed having long-term impacts in other aspects of your life.
Whether you struggle with vocal confidence or think your voice is lost forever, we are here to help you free your true voice.
