Have you ever wondered how music really works? Whether you're a musician who wants to understand what you're playing, an aspiring composer looking to create your own music, or simply someone who's curious about the world of music, this course is for you!

We'll explore the fundamental principles of music theory, starting from the very basics and gradually discovering how music is built, structured and developed. You'll learn about notes, scales, intervals, chords, harmony, rhythm, musical structures and much more.

The aim is to understand the musical language that connects classical compositions with the music we listen to today. Once you understand these foundations, you'll start recognising patterns, understanding musical choices and seeing music from a completely different perspective.

The lessons are designed to be clear, practical and accessible to everyone. You don't need any previous knowledge, musical experience or formal education. Everything will be explained step by step, using simple examples and relating theory to real music.

Whether you play an instrument, sing, write songs, dream of composing, or simply love music and want to understand what happens behind the sounds you hear, you'll find something interesting and valuable in this course.

No experience required – just curiosity and a willingness to discover!

Available in both English and Spanish.

Would you like to learn how to use Photoshop and explore the world of graphic design? This course is the perfect place to start!

Over 10 sessions, we'll explore Photoshop step by step, discovering its main tools and features and learning how to use them in a practical and creative way. You'll get familiar with the interface, layers, selections, brushes, text, colours, image editing, filters and much more.

The goal is not just to learn what each tool does, but to understand how to use them to create your own designs, edit images and bring your creative ideas to life.

Each session comes with practical exercises to work on outside class. These activities are an essential part of the learning process, helping you put what you've learned into practice, build confidence and significantly speed up your progress. The more you practise, the faster you'll improve!

No previous experience with Photoshop or graphic design is needed. We'll take things step by step, at your own pace, with practical examples and hands-on exercises.

The course is available in both English and Spanish, so you can choose whichever language you're most comfortable with.

Whether you're curious about graphic design, want to develop a new skill or simply want to learn Photoshop from scratch, you're very welcome!

Discover the fascinating history of music and travel through the different periods, styles and sounds that have shaped the musical world we know today.

From the earliest musical traditions and the great composers of the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods to the revolutionary sounds of the 20th century and contemporary music, we'll explore how music has evolved throughout history.

We'll discover the defining characteristics of each period, study its most important composers and musical figures, and explore the historical and cultural contexts in which they lived and worked. We'll look beyond the music itself, understanding their lives, their ideas, their masterpieces and the compositional techniques that made their work so distinctive.

We'll listen to and analyse important musical works, learning how to recognise different styles, understand their structures and appreciate the artistic ideas behind them.

This course is designed for anyone who loves music. Whether you're a conservatory student looking to deepen your knowledge, a musician wanting to understand the historical background of your repertoire, or simply a passionate music lover curious about the stories behind the sounds, you're very welcome.

No advanced musical knowledge is required, just an interest in music and a willingness to explore its history.

More than a history lesson, this is a journey through the sounds, ideas and people that have shaped music across the centuries.

Available in both English and Spanish.

Hi! I am a working musician, who will be attending BIMM for songwriting this September. I have played in many bands, and have also taught a multitude of students how to play the guitar and keyboard. I am Grade 5 on both guitar and piano. I understand that everyone works at different paces, and everyone has different goals. Some people want to learn more about music theory, where as others want to learn to jam and have fun! Both are things I will most certainly be able to teach. Looking forward to hearing from you!

I am available for online classes also.

Local guitar tutor based in the Marino/Clontarf/Drumcondra area delivering lessons in student’s homes or over zoom if preferable.

As a recent music college graduate and an active working musician, I try to keep the lessons contemporary and fun and try to develop guitar learning paths specific to what each student aspires to achieve.

I am well versed across most genres and can deliver lessons with an emphasis on music theory if desired. As someone who studied songwriting/music production in college, I try to encourage people to learn to sing and play guitar simultaneously and to breakdown and study what is required to write original music by dissecting/analyzing popular music.

Lessons suitable for all ages and levels.
