Music Generation is Ireland’s national music education programme and supports equality in learning, giving children and young people the opportunity to sing, create, play and perform music.
Last year, MA Voice Pedagogy student, Lisa Price, was invited to join Music Generation’s Early Years Communities of Practice forum.
