Amazing School of Music! The Staffs are Brilliant. Becca have been so patient and helpful with all our queries. Ben McGarvey is our son’s piano teacher and all I can say is that he is very knowledgeable and talented person. Such an honor to have met him. Highly recommended school ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Music First NI is fantastic. The team is enthusiastic, hard-working and very professional. Our children have been taught by the excellent Becca for several years - her care and warmth has inspired them to learn four instruments. Aoife is a fabulous and generous teacher and makes sure her lessons are fun and productive. I would highly recommend Music First NI.

Fabulous music school! My son attained grade 6 singing with excellent coaching from Becca and my daughter is currently working towards grade 4. Becca is super encouraging and brings out the best in her. The music theory classes are also excellent, from the young kids classes right up through the grades. Really friendly family environment. Can’t say enough good things about the MFNI team: Becca, Garvin & Aoife!

I have had singing lessons with Becca for a number of years now. What began as something to improve my confidence, soon developed into me achieving a lifetime goal by obtaining a distinction in my Grade 8. Becca is an excellent teacher, has a wealth of personal experience, and truly understands the mechanics of the voice. Her warm, bubbly nature helped me to relax from day 1, and the difference in my voice and level of confidence is unbelievable. Highly recommend this school for anyone wanting to improve their skills!!
