What students and teachers say about Songschool...
"I really enjoyed the two days. I love singing. It's
what I hope to do in the future. I've always tried writing
songs but it never came together for me before…the classes
you gave really inspired me."
Laura - Maryfield College Dublin
"I just received the songs and they sound wonderful.
We've written a lot of new songs and I've learnt a lot of
tricks from you - thanks man!"
Paul - St Gabrielle's Belfast
"I learnt you can do something if you really want
to because I never thought we'd write and record a song ..."
Christina - Scoil Ruain Killenaule
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you
for your work on the recent cross border "Songschool
project". Teachers and participants on the exchange were
extremely impressed with the project. It provides an excellent
example of cross border co-operation between young people
from the North and South. We look forward to planning the
next cross border "Songschool".
Arlene Connor - Co-operation Ireland
"I thought that this was one of the best things we've
done in Transition Year"
