GrindsWorld Tutor: Paul McCabe

Passionate Music Tutor (Leaving & Junior Cert Expert)

Hi, Thank you very much for checking in on my profile. I am a music teacher living in Cavan, Ireland who has been teaching/tutoring music for 5+ years now. I want to be able to let you express yourself as a musician whether through performance, composing or expressing musical knowledge. I plan to do this in a fun and interactive way that will help you be more confident with music then ever before! I teach both young and old, from primary level to degree level.

So a little bit about me. Growing up in a musical household in Co. Cavan, pursuing a musical career was always a natural path for me to take. From the age of 10, I began piano lessons in Oldcastle, Co. Meath, where I learned the craft of music and performance. I was offered a place on Maynooth University's Bachelor of Music Degree course and following this In February 2014, I was employed as the resident pianist In Crover House Hotel. I played there weekly, performing for guests, weddings and social events. In 2016, I played at 54 wedding drink receptions throughout the year and following this, I was offered a role as the resident pianist in Matt The Thresher Restaurant in Dublin.

Having a keen interest in composing and having done a Composition Major in my music degree, I headlined The Co Club in December 2014, where I showcased many of my compositions in my repertoire. I pursued a Masters Degree in Music Education at the University Of Limerick, which I completed in 2018.
