Heritage in Schools

Simon O’Dwyer visited the children and introduced them to pre-historic musical instruments and the people who played them, His lively session took the children on a journey through the music of ancient Ireland in every millennium from the first arrivals some 10,000 years ago to the time of St. Patrick.  The children learned about Stone Age flutes and whistles, percussion, Bronze Age horn, bells and the great sheet bronze trumpets of the Middle Iron Age.
