About Dungarvan School

Our Mission

At Dungarvan School of Music and Trad, our mission is simple — to share the joy of music, song, and dance with people of all ages and abilities. We provide high-quality tuition in a relaxed, friendly environment where you can develop your skills, grow in confidence, and become the best musician, singer, or dancer you can be.

Our experienced tutors are passionate about both traditional Irish music and a wide range of contemporary styles. Whether you’re picking up an instrument for the first time, returning to music after a break, or aiming for advanced performance goals, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

More Than Just Lessons

We believe that music is about connection, community, and shared experiences. Throughout the year, our students have the chance to perform, collaborate, and take part in a wide range of events both locally and further afield, including:

  • Performances at local venues such as The Dunabbey on Christmas Eve and St Joseph’s Hospital during the year

  • Dungarvan Food Festival appearances

  • Fundraising events for community causes

  • Outreach to primary schools in the area

  • Culture workshops in partnership with language schools

  • Musical trips across Ireland

  • Seasonal celebrations including Halloween parties and St Patrick’s Day performances

  • Regular session gigs and informal music meet-ups

  • Busking events to showcase young talent

  • Participation in Scór competitions and Fleadh Cheoil contests

  • Our end-of-year school concert, celebrating our students’ achievements
