Inter-agency collaboration between IT Tralee and Kerry ETB

The Kerry Take Note Music Project is a Youth Arts inter-agency collaboration run by Kerry Music Education Partnership. This multi-agency initiative comprising Kerry ETB, IT Tralee, Kerry Diocesan Youth Service, Kerry County Council & Ealain na Gaeltachta, is a youth music initiative with the aim of broadening access to music education and musical participation for children and young people across Co. Kerry. The 'Take Note' suite of music programmes includes a Vocal and Instrumental Tuition Initiative in schools, as well as various Mentorship, Residencies, Band Programmes and Music Technology initiatives. The current MOU between IT Tralee and Kerry ETB highlights the Kerry Music Education Partnership as a significant partnership initiative between the two agencies.
