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.
