Music Literacy Ireland Active in Research
Music Literacy Ireland is carrying out a number of surveys across different music education sectors. This survey is for post-primary music teachers, the purpose of which is four-fold:
1) to work towards creating greater connections between 2nd- & 3rd-level music education
2) for research purposes regarding music education in Ireland; all responses are anonymous
3) as a response to queries from post-primary teachers about MLI’s services
4) a neutral platform for teachers to voice their opinions; all responses are anonymous
This survey takes 5–10 minutes to fill out. Your input is anonymous and important in creating discourse on music education in Ireland.

Courses moving online
Due to Covid-19, the courses in Meath Music Academy in April have unfortunately been cancelled. In good news though, we will be moving some of those courses online, making them available throughout Ireland at any one time at a reduced cost. We’ll make an announcement with more details soon. We look forward to returning to Meath Music Academy in the future with a broad range of courses and seeing you all in person, but in the meantime, we are excited about extending access to everyone who may not have been able to join us in Meath in April.
