Quotes: "This is about so much more than just the music for our pupils"; "I can't believe my mum is going to come and watch me play"; "...A wow moment was seeing a pupil become instantly completely absorbed, staying at the session for 35 minutes... A real turning point in her overall development...". There are several images of young people - a girl looking down with both hands playing Thumbjam on iPad; a girl sitting on a chair playing chime bars on a table; a girl standing and dancing playing a bodhran drum; two boys sharing a keyboard pressing down the keys; and a young boy playing a drum.
