Every Wednesday a music teacher visits the school, to teach the children from 1st class upwards traditional Irish Music. They begin in 1st class with learning the tin whistle.As they advance through the school and progress with this instrument, many are given the opportunity to learn the concertina or button accordion. This is operated through an instrument rental scheme arranged by the school, with the support of SECAD.
