Laois school bangs the drum with Music Generation Laois
The pupils of Arles National School have just completed a 20-week Percussion Programme with Music Generation Laois.
Caroline Mahon is Acting Deputy Principal. She said it was a pleasure to have Music Generation Laois in the school helping the pupils.
"We were honoured to have Dale McKay from Music Generation Laois come and visit our school every week. He tailored the music lessons to meet the needs and interests of each of the three classes - the Junior Room, the Middle Room and the Senior Room.
"The pupils loved having the opportunity to learn about the bodhrán in particular. They found the hands-on experience fun, inspirational and rewarding. We would like to say a huge thank you to Day McKay and Music Generation Laois for helping inspire a new generation of musicians," said Ms Mahon.
Music Generation Laois is part of Music Generation - Ireland’s National Music Education Programme. Its mission is to create inspiring experiences for children and young people through music.
