The in school violin programme has concluded for this academic year. We are very pleased with the students' progress over the course of the programme . It is proposed to offer an after school orchestra programme next year for students who would like to pursue study of a stringed instrument further and details will be available shortly. There are many good local instrumental tuition providers available locally and I will be issuing a guide to what is available in the next few weeks.
Should you wish to purchase an instrument, I recommend the Stentor Student 1 available from local supplier Custy's Music Store , Most students will be ready for a 3/4 size at this stage with taller students ready for a full size instrument. Mention you are a student of the programme.
I wish to acknowledge the excellent work of Fiona de Buitleir in coordinating this project, Ray McInerney and Tom Glynn for their support and encouragement. The enthusiasm with which teachers Dara Blake, Liz Spring , Eamonn Corry and support staff Deirdre Larkin engaged in the project was crucial to engendering similar enthusiasm in their students. I enjoyed working with the students and their teachers very much and look forward to the next stage.
Sincere thanks to you all .
