What we want to do is really simple. We just want to make sure that everyone, whatever their background, gets access to music tuition. Thats the idea. (Bono) Music Generation is Irelands National Music Education Programme, that transforms the lives of children and young people through access to high quality performance music education. Initiated by Music Network, Music Generation is co-funded by U2, The Ireland Funds, The Department of Education and Skills and Local Music Education Partnerships. Music Generation has grown to reach a total of 20 counties in Ireland, creating some 48,500 opportunities each year for children and young people who may never otherwise have had the opportunity to access music tuition. Music Generation believes in every child and young persons musical potential and their innate artistry. We believe that it is every child and young persons right to have the choice of access and the chance to participate as a musical citizen. We believe that music doesnt just change lives - it transforms lives. Music Generation focuses on performance music education that is, vocal and instrumental tuition encompassing all music genres and all types of instruments and vocal styles. Tuition is delivered by skilled professional musicians who interact in an inspirational way with children and young people. For further information visit musicgeneration.ie
