Schools of Music Questionnaire

Welcome,

The need for a list of private instrumental and vocal teachers and schools of music in Ireland has become clear to Music Network over the years. Many of the telephone enquiries received here are from parents seeking local instrumental tuition in a wide range of instruments, including voice, for their children.

With the goal of producing a freely accessible and evolving database, Music Network is undertaking the ongoing task of compiling a unique and comprehensive directory of music teachers and schools of music in Ireland.

Consequently, if you wish to be considered for a listing as a private instrumental or vocal teacher please complete the questionnaire below.

 

Please note:

  • The questionnaire should take no more than fifteen minutes to complete
  • You should fill it in as fully as possible as this will allow us to present a comprehensive picture of the service you offer. This in turn allows the directory user to make an informed decision as to their choice of teacher
  • Any field you leave blank here will automatically be dropped from your directory listing i.e. should you choose not to answer the question about qualifications we will simply drop that category from your listing
  • Please ignore those sections of the questionnaire that are highlighted in blue
  • This will be a listing only, i.e. we will not be recommending one teacher or school over another so the more information you provide the more effective your listing will be
  • Music Network reserves the right to edit entries before they appear online
  • The decision to include a listing in the directory will be Music Network's alone
  • Access to the online directory is absolutely free via our website and written or telephone enquiries to Music Network
  • If you have a brochure/prospectus which you feel answers many of these questions please send it to me at Music Network, Coach House, Dublin Castle, Dublin 2.
  • If you have any comments or enquiries regarding the questionnaire or the project please contact me at learnmusic@musicnetwork.ie
Thank you for your time and help,


 
Yours sincerely,

Séamus O'Reilly
