Participants will receive free one-to-one and group tuition with relevant musicians on a variety of musical instruments.&nbsp; Instruments will be provided if necessary for the duration of the project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The project will be based at Wicklow County Campus, Clermont House, Newrath, Rathnew, Co. Wicklow . An open call for applications will be circulated. &nbsp;What is unique about this residency programme is that the teaching is by an ensemble of musicians from County Wicklow who come together to both teach and encourage shared playing. &nbsp;Two ensembles the Barn Ensemble and Session 55 have been created by the participants independently of the programme in the last four years. &nbsp;These participants continue to lead their own learning and ensemble playing in a variety of different settings from Libraries to arts venues and nursing homes. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":37735,"template":"","class_list":["post-37734","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>55+ Music Teaching Residency - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A shared learning opportunity for County Wicklow residents aged 55 and over, presented by Wicklow Arts Office and&nbsp; Music Network.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/55-music-teaching-residency\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"55+ Music Teaching Residency - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A shared learning opportunity for County Wicklow residents aged 55 and over, presented by Wicklow Arts Office and&nbsp; Music Network.
