LESSONS - Offered And Requested

Hi Grace,

IT sounds like you've already got quite a bit of musical experience and probably know how to read music so I'd definitely recommend private lessons!

Have a look at Cairde na Cruite: they have a harp hire scheme to help you get started: http://www.cairdenacruite.com/

For lessons, you have a couple of options:

1. Waltons in Georges st - however, they are rather inflexible and on the pricey side, which is why I didn't go with them myself.
2. Private lessons - have a look at this website: http://www.learnmusic.info They have a list of private teachers for all instruments nationwide. I found my harp teacher after months of asking around and she came recommended by the harp teacher in the RIAM (you can probably forget about the RIAM unless you're an awful lot younger than you sound! 8-12yrs old might be good.)
3. Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann sometimes offer harp lessons depending on where you're located but this would only be for Irish trad music and follows the school year (so you'd have to start in September)

Good luck with learning the harp! It is a gorgeous instrument...
And no, lessons shouldn't be very expensive compared to good quality music lessons on any other instrument.
If you could find a group or organisation to go with it might be cheaper but I can't think of any (apart from Comhaltas) and I'd really recommend private lessons.

Looking for electric guitar lessons in the dublin area, living in ballymun but will travel to town and other places if it isn't too far and worth the money.

General soloing, rythm accuracy help.

Thanks !

Hi Pyr0

I'mstill teaching in Dame Court (City Centre). I teach most popular styles and have taught and continue to teach many people off these very boards.

Here's an updated version of my original post:

Hi all. I am a guitar teacher of six years and have to date taught over 200 people in that time. Loads of boards people on the books and plenty of references here, just search for Thomas Brunkard.

Instrument(s) And Styles - Guitar - Rock, Blues, Metal, Folk, Reggae, Soul, Funk
Experience - 8 years teaching
Location - Dame Court Dublin 2
Lesson Duration - 40 minutes- One hour - Lessons are by topic module and times vary
Cost Per Lesson - €30 per lesson, €100 for four consecutive lessons. Student and Unemployed discounts.

My curriculumn is highly successful and relatively fast at imparting full fret board knowledge quickly. From there I work towards using that knowledge to have you playing, composing, improvising and mastering the styles you want to learn.

- Full fretboard knowledge
- Theory taught quickly painlessly with emphasis on practical application
- Beginners - chords and strum patterns become songs and recognisable pieces fast.
- Techniques both basic, advanced and obtruse looked at
- Live guitar - how to use your pedals, set up your amp, buy the right gear
- How to look after your guitar
- Recording techniques for guitar- make your arrangements stand out
- Learn the fundementals of different styles to help you become a truly original player.

Graded Electric Guitar Examinations can now be arranged.

Sorry Kate that should read €30 per hour (copied from an old post and edited badly) which is even then artificially higher to encourage paying for four lessons. The rate is slightly cheaper than most other professional teachers as opposed to broke students chancing their arm! ;-)

That and the unwaged and students get a further discount.
