Music Classes for Children
It is essential that musical talent in children be identified at an early age and developed to its full potential by the best teaching. Here in the Conservatory of Music and Drama at DIT we have the professional expertise and proven track record for producing musicians, singers and actors of a very high calibre, many of whom enter the profession here and abroad.
The Conservatory of Music & Drama is situated in the heart of Rathmines and is served by numerous bus routes from all over the city and county. Parking is available at the Swan Centre and on the surrounding streets.
Kids Music Club for 3-5 year olds
For 1½ hours each Saturday let the kids make it their magic day! Join pals in singing, storytelling, percussion and much more. The kids will work and play with specialist teachers in each area

Pre-Instrumental Classes for 5-7 year olds
Learning takes place through active and participative music-making within a relaxed environment. Children learn skills that will prepare them for learning a musical instrument and during the year will have the opportunity to try out piano and various string and wind instruments. Following on from these classes (subject to audition), the child may then move into the mainstream of individual tuition at the Conservatory of Music & Drama.
Classes take place on Saturdays and last 45 minutes.
