Students Testimonials
I have been attending Comhaltas Finglas music lessons learning to play banjo for almost a year now. I can honestly say Gearóid is a great teacher. Whether you're a complete beginner or improving your skills, he has the patience and the knowledge to bring everyone along together, and no one feels left out. I would highly recommend Comhaltas to anyone interested in taking up an instrument.

I joined Finglas Comhaltas to learn the tin whistle, and it’s been a fantastic experience! The teacher are passionate and really break things down so beginners like me can follow along. The classes are friendly, inclusive, and full of energy, with a real sense of community. We not only learn traditional Irish music but also get the opportunity to play in group sessions. It’s more than just a class—it’s like joining a family, keeping Irish culture alive. Highly recommend for anyone, young or old!

I started taking fiddle lessons at Finglas Comhaltas, and it’s been an incredible journey. The instructors are fantastic—very supportive and skilled at helping beginners like me understand the basics. What I love most is how the lessons are rooted in traditional Irish music, so you feel connected to the culture while learning. The group environment is fun and motivating, and it’s so rewarding to play in sessions with others. I’ve learned so much in a short time and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Joining the accordion class at Finglas Comhaltas has been such a rewarding experience! The instructor makes learning this challenging instrument so approachable with step-by-step guidance. I’ve gone from struggling with basic notes to playing full Irish tunes in a few months. The classes are relaxed, and there’s a great balance of individual attention and group learning. It’s not just about playing music but also about being part of a welcoming, cultural community. I highly recommend it to anyone curious about traditional Irish music
