'The Magic Drum' performed by the Woodbrook National School Ensemble
Primary Finalist in the 2025 Waltons RTÉ lyric fm Music for Schools Competition.
Teaching Principal Anne Hand Doyle first heard about the Music for Schools Competition when she attended a teaching workshop in July, and she decided there and then to enter. She chose the story of 'The Magic Drum' (an African folk tale) as Woodbrook National School’s entry, with a view to telling the story through music using percussion instruments, some of which were home-made by the students involved. For this whole-school project (13 of the school’s 25 students were involved), the participants were fully engaged, enthusiastic and dedicated from the very beginning right through to the final performance. The senior students made the story their own by adjusting it where necessary to facilitate their performance. Using two African folk songs as their starting point, the students developed their piece and worked together in harmony, supporting each other in terms of the musical roles they were representing and the theme they wanted to convey. For Anne, this was the embodiment of the message that they wanted to convey – that working together in joy and unity is truly the only way forward.
