Piano lessons in Cork at The Academy (grades 1-6) are divided into 2 50 minutes classes: one piano class and one theory/ensemble class theory/ensemble class. New students are initially assessed, then assigned an appropriate drum class and a theory class. Classes are designed to match age, ability and musical interest. The academic year consists of Semester 1 (September to January) and Semester 2 (January to May). Students may apply to enrol at the start of either semester, with priority given to those on waiting lists.

Students receive certification after completing both semesters and passing all exams (theory sem 1&2, instrumental exam (sem 2) and continuous assessment). All students receive numerous performance opportunities. This is to ensure that learning is cemented in practical application and that the learning process is rewarded with positive outcomes. Fees are €460 per semester.
