Welcome to SETU Music School. We have been leading music education in Waterford and the South East for over forty years. We aim to be an inclusive centre of excellence for performance-based music education for children and adults which values access, quality and developing the whole musical learner. SETU Music School endeavours to engage and nurture one’s love of music, fostering a life-long passion for music making. With individual and group tuition available, combined with our award winning choral and instrumental ensembles, we offer a music education to suit all interests and ages.
SETU Music School is an integral part of South East Technological University and is one of only a handful of music schools linked with third-level institutions in Ireland. This link ensures that our students learn with highly qualified and motivated staff, many of which have progressed through the former Institute of Technology themselves to become accomplished performers, conductors and teachers recognised across Ireland and beyond.
Our successes and commitment to music making means we occupy a central space within the wider cultural and artist landscape in the South East. We continue to realise our aspiration to be a leading centre of music education in Ireland. Whether it’s our five-year-olds in Kids Club or our alumni of performers, teachers, and composers; a student’s first note played in their lesson or the final minute of their Diploma programme; every member of SETU Music School is supported to realise their potential and progress musically, professionally and personally.
