It aims both to introduce younger children to the tradition and to re-engage teenagers with it during TY. The hope is to get a list of TY contacts and names in Dublin who can essentially form a panel of musicians that can go out to perform for the primary school children between now and the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d really appreciate it if you could:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>share the attached proposal<\/strong>&nbsp;widely with other school teachers or colleagues who may be interested.<\/li><li><strong>circulate the advert<\/strong>&nbsp;to TY students who might be interested.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve also&nbsp;<strong>attached a short form below<\/strong>&nbsp;for any students who\u2019d like to register their interest, as well as a&nbsp;<strong>document outlining the project<\/strong>&nbsp;in further detail should you be interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks a million for your help, it is very much appreciated!
