Drum roll sounds as Moira’s new music school opens

During the week students were guided through a programme of song writing and composition by school founder, musician Sean Randle.

The summer scheme covered the principles of composing music and writing lyrics to complete a song. The group brought a range of skill and experience in guitar, drums, bass, keyboards and vocals and by the end of the week were playing together as a well rehearsed group.

For many this was the first time they had played with other musicians, and the opportunity was both challenging and stimulating.

13-year-old Emma Horan said: “This summer scheme has been absolutely amazing. I always wanted to learn songwriting and now I have accomplished that. I loved working with the group, they are such talented students and I loved making the recording.”

Mid-week, vocal coach and singer, Dana Masters, delivered a vocal master-class, which was a real treat for the young singers in the group and helped to develop both skill levels and personal confidence in the budding musicians.

The intensive week-long programme culminated in the recording of the song which the group had collaboratively produced in their sessions. Each will receive a mixed CD of the recording which is sure to impress family and friends.

This group, none of whom knew one another at the beginning of the week, left having developed as musicians, stretched their skills and made new friends – the title of their aptly named song is ‘Friends’.
