Music Generation Tipperary works with Scoil Mhuire Knockavilla and the Local Community

26th Jan 2021

Scoil Mhuire has been very lucky to have been selected to take part in Music Generation Tipperary’s Programme for Schools.

As a school with a strong tradition in music and singing, and we are very happy to welcome Treasa Nic Dhiarmada who is currently working with the teachers and pupils in the junior classes. Treasa is a very experienced primary teacher who brings great expertise to the classes. The pupils have been enjoying the music classes greatly as they make music using percussion instruments. We are all looking forward to being able to get back to our music classes in school soon again.

Music Generation Tipperary has informed us one of an upcoming programme which might be a nice activity for children to link up with their grandparents, aunties, uncles, cousins on Zoom or Whatsapp etc. It is s a multi-generational family choir where grandparents, parents and grandkids can link and connect with each other across the county through song.  People can create hubs safely in their homes, and connect together musically across generations. When Covid is over, the idea will be that those people will be able to get together to sing aloud, and keep that connection strong. The project is called Tipperary Sings!

Also as one of Music Generation Tipperary’s partner schools, we have been informed of a very exciting opportunity for our students and the children of Tipperary. Music Generation Tipperary is giving the opportunity to children between the ages of 10 and 18 to learn the bass guitar; they can even supply them with all the necessary equipment for a small rental fee. Music Educator Stephen McGrath will be providing the tuition.
