The goal of the New School's Outreach Programme is to provide opportunities for active music making that may not otherwise be available in the primary and post-primary school classroom or in the local community. Our intention is to expand children and young people's musical knowledge and encourage imaginative thinking, creativity, a positive self image and a respect for their own and others’ cultural heritage.
Since 2001, the New School’s Outreach Workshops have taken place at over 200 primary schools, post-primary schools, youth centres and special needs organisations nationwide, as well as at the Ark and National Concert Hall in Dublin.
Our In-School Music Programme consists of a selection of group courses that take place on-site at primary schools, post-primary schools and youth centres throughout the greater Dublin area, during or after school hours.
The fees for both outreach workshops and the In-School Music Programme have remained unchanged over the past three years, and cost as little as €4.64 per participant for 1-hour workshops and €2.80 per student, per 1-hour class, in a 10-week long, 30-student ‘In-School Music’ course.
