Absolutely delighted to be starting a new 10 week Simply Music iPad Music Composition Project with Foróige, the leading youth organisation in Ireland.
Huge thanks to Music Generation South County Dublin for helping to make this happen. Hopefully this will be the start of many collaborations and our first venture will be with Foroige's Peer Education Project in Tallaght.

15 iPad's, Midi-Keyboards, Electric Guitars, Bass Guitars, Microphones and our JamHub - Silent Rehearsal Studios. In addition we will be using Apple's GarageBand and iMovies software, which will surely help to add to this audio/visual experience!
