Welcome to the Killarney School of Music
Established by Padraig & Tadhg Buckley, the school has grown quickly and now has fourteen teachers and over 400 students. The school operates 6 days per week (Mon-Sat). This allows us offer a wide choice of instruments, class-times, class-size and also allows us integrate group playing as part of our courses. We cater for all age groups including adults.
Our greatest asset is our team of experienced and dedicated teachers. To ensure the highest quality of teaching, we keep our class sizes small, with a maximum of four students in all instrument classes.
Please browse our website to see what we offer. We are happy also to answer any or your queries by phone, e-mail or in person.
