“I am a parent of three ‘lifers’ – being children that have been continuously involved in ‘Cottage School of Music Senior’ since the earliest possible time through to high school graduation and beyond. In my humble opinion this is one of the best musical activities you can get your children involved in. It is not a cramming course, but a life journey that equips one with the ability to fully engage in a musical life. If you have small children pack a picnic to have on the lawn of Drabble House between classes or join the library next door. Make it a way of life and you will not be disappointed. Oh, and Micheál’s teaching is sometimes unconventional, but full of fun and always world class.” – MC, Claremont
