APC’s music education programme caters for musicians from a large area comprising most of the northern and border counties. Weekly classes provide tuition for over 160 children and adults in both instrumental music and singing. The classes are taught by experienced teachers, all of whom are excellent musicians. Many of these are professional musicians, while others have university degrees and post-graduate qualifications. Senior students are also given an opportunity to teach small groups.

Once a month, classes are replaced by a Family Session, where all pupils have an opportunity to play together in an informal way. The Trad at the Trian Concert Series, held throughout the winter, provides learners with a chance to hear top musicians and singers perform, and be taught by them in master classes. A wide range of classes and workshops are also available during the annual William Kennedy Piping Festival.
