Exams
Exams are done through the Royal Irish Academy of Music. They are not compulsory, however most students find they benefit from the structure and practise that comes with preparing for an exam. I currently prepare students who are studying any grade from elementary to grade eight. I have a 100% pass rate.
For those who do not wish to sit piano exams, lessons are still structured in a way so that the student can feel they are making progress through the grades without sitting a final year exam. I also help Junior and Leaving Certificate music students prepare for their practical exams.
