Music students fight threat to part-time classes

PRIMARY and second-level children attending part-time music classes at Cork School of Music have staged a protest, along with their parents, outside the school.

The CSM Concerned Parents Group said it wants to meet Mr Murphy and Cork Institute of Technology’s Governing Body to get clarification about how belt-tightening across the institute will impact on their children’s music education.

However, the head of CIT moved last night to reassure parents that there is no threat to junior level music classes at the flagship Cork School of Music.
