About Francis Long
I have been involved in the music business for many years. At the age of eight I joined the Artane Boys Band, at 16 I discovered the guitar and began the next phase of my musical journey playing rock, pop and blues in various bands in Dublin. Looking for a further challenge I decided to study classical guitar in which I have earned both an Associated Board ABRSM diploma and a Licentiate diploma from Trinity College London. I taught guitar, banjo, mandolin and music technology at Waltons New School Of Music in Dublin from 2003 to 2017 and also gave lessons at several primary schools. A recent collaboration with Music Literacy Ireland has produced a very successful online workshop for music notation software MuseScore. I moved to Waterford in 2017 where I now teach privately.
Lesson prices
Make-up lessons will be given at no additional charge, provided that 24 hours advance notice is given that a lesson will be missed. If less than 24hrs notice is given, provision of a make-up lesson is at the discretion of the teacher and only with an acceptable excuse from the student (e.g. medical emergency or illness). All make-ups are to be completed by the end of the term in which the missed lessons occurred; i.e. there is no continuing obligation on the part of the teacher. Make-up lessons will be given only at times and dates within the normal teaching schedule or may be arranged at a mutually agreeable time. While every effort will be made to accommodate the student, if two time slots are offered for the make-up and neither are acceptable then the lesson may be forfeit. The lesson is considered to have been given if the student misses the scheduled make-up lesson for any reason. Make-up lessons are limited to two in any given term; they may not be “carried over” from one term to another. There are no refunds for missed lessons.
