Satellite program started in Presentation Primary School

Based on the ever increasing popularity of the Sing Out with Strings program in Limerick, Presentation Primary has decided to join in on the act and start their own program funded by the school itself.

Under the guidance of Lisa Grosman, their resident violin teacher Ciarán Collins, began a three week boot camp to give the children in the school the best possible start to their music playing. The boot camp was such a success that Lisa invited the children to play in the University Concert Hall along with the other participating schools and the Irish Chamber Orchestra. This was a fantastic experience for the children, many of whom only began to play in September and they were a credit to their school on the day.

The program will be continued in the school into the New Year, but only on a much smaller scale due to lack of funds. One can’t doubt the success of the program in the other participating schools and Presentation Primary would hope that the funding may be made available so they could also gain from the benefits of having Sing Out with Strings too!
