Our mission is to provide quality music education for children and adults, to strive for excellence while focusing on enjoyment, to train both recreational and professional musicians and to foster a love of music in both. Founded in 1979 to provide much needed music school facilities in south Dublin, Newpark Music Centre now caters for over 1000 students and is one of the largest private music sch

ools in Dublin. While the emphasis is on learning music for enjoyment, students and choirs from the Music Centre have been extremely successful in competitions throughout the country. All exam syllabuses are covered up to and including diploma level and several specialised courses not available in other music schools are offered. As a founder member of the International Association of Schools of Jazz (IASJ), Newpark Music Centre established its Jazz and Contemporary Music Department in 1986 and is now recognised as the primary centre for jazz and jazz related music education in the country. The staff is drawn from the finest performers and teachers from Ireland and abroad, ensuring that students are constantly kept up to date with the latest musical techniques, concepts and trends.

Can concerts teach music too?

Yes. When students hear live playing up close, they pick up timing, tone, phrasing, and ensemble feel in a way practice alone cannot always give them.

For local audiences, those same concerts make music learning shared. Everyone leaves with a better ear, fresh inspiration, and a stronger sense of connection.

Which lesson format suits you best?

If you want steady progress without overloading the week, the best choice is usually the one you can keep up with. A weekly one-to-one lesson gives focused support, while a group class can build confidence, listening skills, and a sense of ensemble.

The right format depends on your goals, your schedule, and how much practice time you can manage.
