Why Get Piano Lessons?

Learning a musical instrument is one of the best ways to develop intelligence in the young and to promote cognitive performance in the not-so-young.

Children

Taken from the age of six (beginning of First Class), the child beginner will start with an attractive colourful book -

John Thomson's Teaching Little Fingers to Play - which will have them reading notes and playing with both hands within the first two or three lessons.

Adults

It is never too late to start learning the piano - even as a complete beginner.

We are highly experienced in teaching adults so if it's something you've always wanted to try, or if you played when you were younger and regret having stopped, why not get in touch.

Exams

Both children and adults can be prepared for the Royal Irish Academy of Music exams.

A very good measure of one's pianistic development, and an interesting challenge for the adult player.

Keyboard Lessons

The keyboard offers a completely different approach to learning and playing music and requires a unique approach in teaching. By applying the full resources of the keyboard a relative beginner can sound like a rock group or an orchestra by using merely one finger in each hand! Many young teens find this a particularly fun and exciting way of making music.

Fast Track

This is a method of speed-learning developed by the Principal of Pembroke Piano over many years. It combines elements of keyboard and piano methodology to achieve the simplest and quickest learning in the shortest possible time. Very popular with adults and teens, this method can be applied to learn any non-classical music the student wishes.

Lesson Times

The Pembroke Piano School is open by appointment until 10.00pm every weekday night and on Saturdays from 9.00am to 4.00pm. Please contact us for available times.

Summer Holidays

Whereas most piano schools stop for the long school holidays, we remain open and continue teaching over the summer months.

I have no hesitation in recommending Mr. O'Reilly as a patient, kind and encouraging piano teacher who brings out the best in his pupils.

P KDonnybrook

As an adult student Joseph was totally accommodating on the pace, level and genre of music I wanted to learn. A truly 5 star experience. Highly recommended.

S BDublin

Joe started teaching my daughter piano when she was 7 years old. She is now 16 years old and she is studying for her Grade 6 exam. What is most important is that our daughter continues to play and enjoy the piano and really likes her piano teacher.

My daughter has been a pupil of Joe's for the past ten years , and has progressed through the grades with great results . Joe has always been a caring and encouraging teacher. I would highly recommend him.

Having known Joe for many years as a piano teacher and performer at many school events, I cannot recommend him highly enough.

B FCastleknock

Mr O'Reilly (Joe) has taught piano to our daughter for the past 10 years and under his tuition and guidance she completed Grade 8 with honours and this year sat her leaving certificate music practical with confidence and ease. I would certainly recommend Joe as a piano teacher for all age groups.
