Kids need music! But are schools doing enough to foster a love of, and confidence in, music? We are joined by Ciara O'Connor (@oconnorsmusicschool), founder of Ceol Cliste, who talks about what teachers can do to help their students develop their musical skills and confidence. Whether its violins and tin whistles, or sound bellows and boomwhackers, there are so many ways to bring music into schools.
