Unfortunately, due to Covid 19 it was not possible to deliver our music summer scheme in 2020.
In our summer schemes children engage in innovative activity based music courses informed by the latest research in music psychology and education. The courses are great fun and educational, designed to develop children musical potential, confidence in music making and performing in a progressive and supportive environment.
Apart from Enact Music concerts our students fully engage with the local musical community through performance at various music festivals and competitions (e.g. Holywood Music Festival, Lagan Festival, Belfast Music Festival, EPTA).
We have recently done a lockdown concert, with video recorded performances of students who continued learning through online teaching. The videos have been posted on our Facebook page and will soon be posted at our YouTube page.
Enact Music will start delivering the Certificate for Music Educators (Level 4) accredited by Trinity College London in October 2017. Click here for more information

In the beginning I found difficult to write down music notes played by our teacher in the piano, but the teacher explained how to do it and I started enjoying doing this.

Dr Lilian Simones
Dr Lilian Simones
Director and Piano Teacher
CME Level 4, Course Director
Designated Teacher for Child Protection
Data Protection Officer
Through multifaceted professional experiences as pianist, teacher, researcher development consultant and company founder and director, I have attained a detailed knowledge of the musical learning process, and the portfolio of skills musicians require to succeed in today’s world. My research focuses upon intersections of education, psychology and communication studies, analysing pedagogical practice and improvement. My work published in prestigious academic journals, centres upon ways of rethinking instrumental and vocal music pedagogy, and the role of gesture in music teaching and learning. I decided to found Enact Music because I consider that most music educational scenarios have not moved with time and are outdated by not taking on board relevant research insights into their curricular offer and teaching practice.
Apart from my current role as Director of Enact Music and Course Director for the Certificate for Music Educators course, Level 4 accredited by Trinity College London and ABRSM, I am a Researcher Development Consultant at Queen's University, Belfast.
I completed an MA in Music Psychology in Education at the University of Sheffield in 2011 and a PhD in instrumental music pedagogy at Queen's University Belfast in 2014.

I am a clarinettist and pianist from Dundonald, Belfast. I have achieved my Bachelor Degree in Music from Queen’s University Belfast with a Second Class, First Division in 2018. Following this, I have achieved my Postgraduate Certificate in Education at Bath Spa University in Secondary Music. Prior to my university studies, I have achieved a Performance Diploma in Clarinet and Grade 8 piano.
As an experienced and enthusiastic teacher, I have taught piano to children to a range of ages and abilities. Music is my passion and as a teacher, I am eager to share my passion onto my students. I do so through the delivery of fun and enjoyable learning aimed at developing students' learning motivation, skills and confidence in their own potential.
Patrick Moore
Patrick Moore
Singing, Music Theatre Voice, Guitar, Drums, Music Technology, Composition and Music Theory Teacher
I am a composer and performance artist based in Belfast, graduate of Queen’s University Belfast becoming a Bachelor of Music- First Class with Honours. An experienced performer of Voice, Guitar and Drums in an array of disciplines ranging from Musical Theatre to jazz to experimental improvisation.
Performing lead roles in popular shows such as Les Miserables and West Side Story, as well as singing alongside the best young voices today in Ulster Youth Chamber Choir, and performing with great improvisers such as Paul Stapleton and Steve Davis, I have gained a wider understanding of the art of performing music.
I will be studying composition and performance systems as part of a Master’s degree (MRes) at Queen’s starting September 2018. I have been teaching privately for the last 5 years and believe making lessons fun and tailored to each individual are great ways to become comfortable with one’s instrument. I always strive to help my students develop a passion for music and to provide a wide context of knowledge and understanding of different styles and disciplines.
Zara Hegarty

Violin and Piano
From plucking my first string at four to thumping the keys and belting out my untuneful notes soon after, I was given the privilege of being fully immersed in the world of music. This provided me with the opportunity to participate in choirs, orchestras and solo performances building confidence, perseverance and an ‘attention to detail’. One of my most memorable performances was a four-hand recital of Joplin’s famous “Maple Leaf Rag”. The excitement of switching seats halfway through the performance, mixed with a packed hall, resulted in my final Spring concert being one I will never forget.
Following the completion of my Diploma LCM I tutored privately while still at school – an experience in which I loved! After moving away from home to study at Queens, I was delighted to be given the opportunity to continue teaching, meet new pupils and pass on my love of music so they too can experience the joy playing can provide.

As an experienced performer and enthusiastic teacher, I have taught piano to children in a summer camp in the United States of America and also in schools across Northeast India while partaking in a volunteer programme. In my teenage years, I was successful in several national competitions and was selected as a finalist for Northern Ireland’s Young Musician of the Year and for the National Catherine Judge Memorial Award. More recently, I have advanced to the semi-finals of the Jan and Beattie Wood Concerto competition at Brevard International Music Festival.

Flute, Singing and Piano teacher
I am a professional musician and actor who has recently returned to Northern Ireland. I earned my undergraduate degree in Music at Newcastle University before moving to London to study a master’s at Goldsmiths College. I continued my training by studying at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and have worked professionally in London for many years. I have extensive experience as a music teacher, having taught for over 10 years, and throughout that time I have worked with people of all ages and abilities.

Music is something that everyone can share, whether or not people choose to pursue it as a career, and I feel that it is important to provide encouragement for anyone wishing to learn an instrument.

Ronan Keegan
Ronan Keegan
Guitar Teacher
I am a guitarist who plays both acoustic and electric. I have graduated with a Bachelor's of Science with a 2:1 with Honours and a degree plus in Music Technology & Sonic Arts from Queens University Belfast.
Since graduating I have been steadily improving my teaching ability and working hard on helping my students achieve the most out of their lessons with me.
I am constantly researching new ways to teach guitar and figure out the best way to cater and develop the abilities of every student I have. I believe that learning an instrument should be fun and progressive, and that learners should want to play and practice it of their own volition. This is something that I develop in each of my students in each lesson.
