The programme is delivered by a specialist Music Generation Sligo tutor, who works with Junior and Senior Infants for an hour on a weekly basis in a 12 week programme.

The Discovering Music programme provides young children with an introduction to the world of performance music education. Music Generation Sligo delivers a 1 hour programme to inspire and create young musicians introducing them to the world of instruments, voice and music exploration through fun music activities. Musician Educators will bring with them a variety of musical props from week to week for the children to explore.

​Students explore the world of music through the voice which includes learning various vocal techniques such as articulation, breathing exercises, voice projection, clarity and pronunciation as well as other useful performance and singing techniques including posture and the art of learning to sing in a group. Along with song singing other class activities will include:
​
Musical games
Listening and moving/responding to music
Have fun with body percussion
An opportunity to explore class room percussion instruments
Read and write music through staff notation
An introduction to a variety of orchestral instruments
​​
These activities will create awareness and teach children about basic concepts such as –
​
Pitch – High/Low
Tempo – Fast/Slow
Dynamics – Loud/soft

The above activities develop and enables confidence building through performing, and through musical games it enhances the rapport between students as well as allowing the students to express themselves creatively.
While the emphasis is on learning to enjoy and appreciate listening to all styles of music, these musical games can also help increase concentration, cognitive and memory skills.
