Céard é LMEP Chontae na Gaillimhe?
Comhpháirtíocht Áitiúil Oideachais Ceoil atá i gceist le LMEP. Bunaíodh LMEP Chontae na Gaillimhe in 2011 chun cur chuige straitéiseach a ghlacadh d’fhorbairt oideachais ceoil do pháistí agus do dhaoine óga sa chontae.

What is Galway LMEP?
An LMEP is a Local Music Education Partnership. A Galway County LMEP was established in 2011 to take a strategic approach to the development of music education for children and young people in the county.

This research informed the development of Galway County LMEP’s strategic plan and proposal to Music Generation for seed funding to set up a coordinated and comprehensive music service for the county. In 2017, it was announced that Galway County was to be one of the Phase 2 counties selected for participation in the Music Generation National programme.
Galway County LMEP was formalised in 2020 following the roll-out of Music Generation Galway County in 2018 and is an advisory group made up of the following organisations:

Music Generation Galway County is not free of charge but it is heavily subsidised.
