Since completing the course, I have been able to develop and expand the work I do as co-director of the Redemptorist Centre of Music, Limerick City.
The Redemptorist Centre of Music is a centre that provides access to music to people of all backgrounds through a variety of different approaches and contexts. To date we work with almost 500 people on a weekly basis from our programmes for toddlers to our groups for older adults.
Along with my practical work in community music, I am also in the process of completing a PhD examining the work of Music Generation in Limerick City and exploring the ways in which music can be used as a tool for social change.
Community Music has really provided a structure for how I view music. I feel it is a constantly developing area and one I am very proud to be part of. I would highly recommend the M.A. in Community Music programme!”
