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.
