Sligo Music Generation

Music Generation Sligo is a music education service for children and young people in County Sligo.

‘Discovering Music’ (early years) is an introductory access programme to provide young children with an introduction to the world of music in childcare, and primary school/junior class settings.

‘Discovering and Performing Music’ (primary and post primary level) is a whole-class instrumental and vocal tuition programme for primary schools from 3rd - 6th class, introducing children and young people to reading and performing music. Post-primary schools have the option to explore other modules such as song writing, recording and music technology.

Performance, masterclasses and composition are project-focused school and community programmes offering opportunities for ambitious live performances and advanced tuition.

Con Tutti SEN Programme is a music education, research and training programme in partnership with the Centre for Special Educational Needs, Inclusion & Diversity (CSENID), St Angela’s College, Sligo. The Con Tutti programme is delivered by Music Generation Sligo tutors in autism units and special schools in Sligo throughout the school year.
