Choosing your music

My aim is to provide music that suits you on your special occasion, whatever it may be. In order to lighten the task of choosing your music, I have compiled some lists of popular requests. My repertoire includes much more than is listed here, and any special requests will be accepted.

Cork School of Music

Today I decided to take some photos of the beautiful Cork School of Music for my first blog post. If you’re ever around the school do pop in for a look as it’s a beautiful building buzzing with life! I’ve only been there since September 2008 but it feels like a second home. Here’s a little background on the college & the new building.

The CIT Cork School of Music, opened in 2007, is located on Union Quay, overlooking the River Lee. The building boasts the most advanced architectural design, as its “box within box” construction offers excellent sound insulation in each of its tuition studios. Among its facilities are the 450 – seat Curtis Auditorium, a smaller “black-box” theatre, a highly advanced recording studio, an electronic music studio, the Fleischmann Library, an Audio lab and seperate Music IT lab, and over 50 Steinway grand pianos. The building also supplies a bistro, and student and teacher common rooms. The school offers full-time Bachelor and Master Courses in Music Performance and in Composition. Directed by Dr. Geoffrey Spratt, the Cork School of Music is a highly regarded centre of music education, both nationally and internationally.
