Save Newpark Music Academy
The Newpark Academy of Music has been providing musical experience and education for neigh on 45yrs. The academ has educated generations of musicians. It is to important as a high quality community based resource to be allowed to slip away.
Why is this important?
The Newpark Academy of Music has been providing musical experience and education for neigh on 45yrs. Young and old have stepped across its doors to plunge into a world of nuanced musical expression. Newpark - though it's many guises of individual classical and jazz lessons, choirs, orchestra, quartets - has provided a locus of community involvement for its students and their families.
The mental health benefits accued from being involved with musical expression is well documented. In a post covid era where many of us are struggling to move our children and ourselves away from screen based activites, the loss of Newpark Academy of Music is the loss of something indefinable and vitally important to the students who have crossed its threshold.
Music feeds our soul.
To have a school providing high quality teaching in the suburbs, indeed on the doorstep of many students homes is an exceptional resource, one to be cherished and protected. The loss of Newpark Academy of Music to the area of Blackrock and Stillorgan will be enormous.
This resource is too important to let slip away.
