Q. If a group of children vary in the above ages, can MMA provide tuition to suit?
A. If you have a group of children that vary in age, we can tailor our classes to suit your requirements. Our facilitator will meet with you to discuss the ages and stages of the children and provide an appropriate programme to ensure satisfactory development.
Q. Who are the facilitators?
A. Teachers giving the classes are qualified and experienced early music specialists and teachers of Mini Music Academy.
Q. How are fees paid?
A. The agreement for tuition is made between the school / centre / organization and Mini Music Academy / Castleknock School of Music so fees are paid directly by the school / centre to MMA / CSM. Payment can be made by semester or by a monthly payment plan. To fund this, the school / centre can pass the cost on directly to the students or other avenues of funding could include fundraising or grants received from local authorities.
Q. What do the school / centre need to provide for Mini Music Classes
A suitable classroom and a cd player is required. All other resources including percussion instruments are provided by Mini Music Academy.
Q. When can a Mini Music Academy student begin an instrument
A. All students are given an individual written assessment at the end of each year. The report will give a clear indication if the child is ready to begin an instrument. As all children are individuals, the age can vary between 4 and 7 years of age. Advice is also given as to suitable choice of instrument to study.
