All tutors delivering instrumental and vocal tuition at Causeway School of Music are highly skilled in their chosen instrument and have academic or music examination board qualifications. All have been vetted through the' Access NI' child protection service.

Details of the main areas of tuition can be found in the links below. A standard lesson is of 30 minutes duration but students working towards grades 7, 8 or Diploma may find they need a longer lesson time with their tutor.

Piano:

Piano lessons at C.S.M. are available from beginner to Diploma standard and to people of all ages. You may wish to learn for fun or develop a more serious approach and aim to take examinations to measure your progress. Examinations may be taken following the Trinity Guildhall, A.B.R.S.M. or L.C.M. syllabi. Further information about examination boards may be found on the examinations page of our site.

Learning to play the piano is a creative and rewarding experience. After having been taught the basic principles of piano playing you will be encouraged to play in different styles and genres, from classical to jazz, blues, soul and many more and we'd love to be given the opportunity to help you along your musical journey.

Guitar:

Learning to play guitar is a great way to enjoy your favourite songs. At Causeway you will be taught the basics of the instrument and how to strum and finger pick. Our tutors generally use the very popular Rockschool examinations syllabus to help their pupils on their way. The Rockschool workbooks come with their own CD which contains the backing tracks for the songs printed in the books. (See our examinations page for further information about 'Rockschool').

As your playing skills progress, tutors will develop your performance technique and sight-reading and improvisation skills with a view to preparing you as a good rounded musician ready for gigs. As your playing improves you may wish to join our 'Rockband' group sessions on Friday afternoons in addition to your individual lessons.

We also offer tuition in bass guitar. Again all aspects of bass playing are covered and you may wish to play solely for pleasure or measure your progress using the 'Rockschool' bass syllabus. Tutors will aim to develop your performance technique and improvisation skills through teaching you to play a range of different styles and genres.

And many more!
