Ireland/ 8.3 Arts and cultural education  

8.3.5 Basic out-of-school arts and cultural education

Music Generation is a project financed by U2 and the Ireland Funds to finance a scheme to offer children and young people in Ireland the opportunity to learn a music instrument and / or avail of vocal tuition. Administered by Music Network, the programme is being rolled out on a phased basis from 2010 to 2015. Given the parlous state of music education in Ireland, this scheme, which builds on pilot programmes run by Music Network in Dublin and Donegal, now has Music Education Partnerships in six counties and has received pledges from government of continuation funding when private donations cease.
