My Department is currently funding a pilot programme in Donegal to test the model of Music Education Partnerships proposed in the Music Network Report (2003): A National System of Local Music Education Services — Report of a Feasibility Study.
The programme provides for an instrument bank, group and individual tuition, support for ensembles and choirs and covers a range of musical genres including pop/jazz, traditional and classical. It is operated by Co. Donegal VEC and overseen by a committee which includes Údarás na Gaeltachta, the County Development Board, the Donegal Education centre and other community interests. My Department does not provide funding to the Donegal Summer School of Music.
