Testimonial
During my time in the Music Performance course, I was able to expand my horizons both musically and academically as well as being able to drive myself to become a better musician and performer. The teachers were brilliant and very helpful in all my modules. I am now in my second year of college in BIMM Institute Dublin, an achievement I would not have accomplished had it not been for the time spent in Carlow Institute.
