Welcome to Music Matters Online, the homepages of one of the leading music schools in the West
of Ireland.
This site is presently under construction, please
check the site listing for a full breakdown of
operable pages.
On the go since 1988, Music Matters has become an important element in music in Galway and
Connaught.
Utilising an internationally recognised form of schooling, the Suzuki Method, Music
Matters caters for children as young as four years old, right through their teens, providing
them with a love and appreciation for music rarely imparted by other methods. Growing up with
music as an accepted part of their routine, its students have gone on to play at international
venues and before heads of state from around Europe.
If you are interested in providing your child with a musical education, and helping them to
develop their talents, then Music Matters can help you do so. Take a look at the classes we have
to offer (covering almost all orchestral instruments) and contact us for further details and
class bookings.
