Michael Martin
Teacher of Guitar, Ukulele, Drums,
Since moving to the Bannow area of Wexford in 2009, Michael has enjoyed teaching music at Kiltra School of Music. He is now a well-known teacher in south Wexford. Michael's musical journey began as a self-taught guitarist, honing his skills by listening and learning from the greats such as the Beatles, Queen, Eric Clapton and modern bands such as Muse and Radiohead. He also developed his skills throughout his teens and twenties by playing regular live performances with his band in the Kildare, Wicklow and Dublin areas, branching out to other instruments along the way. He has taught hundreds of students of all levels, covering everything from rock and pop to traditional, classical and blues. Students are provided with high-quality teaching material and they take away well-defined tasks, goals and explanations, quickly building up a comprehensive body of work to practice. Michael believes that the one-size-fits-all approach to music lessons doesn't work and that the lessons should be tailored to the individual. Having a large amount of teaching material means he can provide students with what they need, when they need it. Over the years Michael has enjoyed watching his students grow to do their own thing in music whether it be jamming with their buddies, creating their own bands, or studying for a music degree in college.
Elaine Kane
Teacher of Piano, Cello
My music education commenced in the College of Music Dublin (TU Dublin Conservatoire). I studied Piano, Cello, Theory and Orchestral playing.
On completing my studies I moved to Kildare and ventured into the unknown but was quickly drawn towards helping young children. I founded and directed a Preschool called “Little Fingers” to encourage toddlers to explore the world of music education and develop their musical abilities in a creative, safe and friendly environment.
My passion for music lead me to share my knowledge and create opportunities in a rural community, enabling people of all ages to get involved.
My career took me in many directions. I taught Piano, Cello and Recorder privately and in Clane and Newbridge School of Music.
I founded, conducted and produced many musical projects. Staplestown Church Choirs Junior and Senior. Timahoe Drama Works for children ages 5-18 years. My productions included Oliver - Annie - Fiddler on the Roof – Calamity Jane – Annie get your Gun and many more.
Further to the above I played Cello in many freelance Orchestral settings and was a permanent member of the Greystones Orchestra conducted by Ronan O’ Reilly.
I moved to Wexford in October and look forward to embarking on my future music adventures.
In essence “Music can open up a beautiful world for those who wish to engage in it”.
