History of The Leinster School of Music & DramaThe Leinster School of Music & Drama was founded in 1904 by SamuelMyerscough, an acclaimed musician, teacher and examiner. Its primaryfunction was to provide education in music to as wide a population aspossible.According to the Irish Art Handbook of 1949 the school had “becomeone of the most important influences on the musical life of the country as ateaching, examining body” Among its early teaching staff were theesteemed piano tutors Patricia Read and May Cosgrave, sister of William T.Cosgrave.The school’s original location was on Harcourt Street which wasfollowed by a move to Upper Stephen Street in 1982. A major step forwardtook place in 1998 when the school moved to the Griffith College Campus onSouth Circular Road and became a constituent School of the College.As a national examining body the School offers grade and diplomaexaminations in both Music and Drama. As part of its centenary celebrationsthe school launched the annual Excellence Awards in 2004. Students areselected to compete for these prestigious awards on their performance atthe annual examinations. The finalists perform at a grand finale in theGriffith College Auditorium each year and the overall winners in music anddrama are presented with their awards.In keeping with the School’s affiliation to Griffith College a new H.Dipin Arts in Music Education was validated by HETAC in 2008, and the H.Dip inArts in Drama Education was validated in 2010.
