TEACHING STRUCTURE & PHILOSOPHY
PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES
A number of Cat's students perform regularly in rock & jazz bands, pipe bands, concert bands and orchestras.
EXAMS
Each year, Cat's students have the opportunity to sit Trinity College drum-kit exams. These exams are an excellent option for goal-oriented students and they also provide a great practice incentive and performance opportunity for developing musicians who are not yet performing with a band or ensemble.
