Amy O'Callaghan and Caoimhe Barry began playing and performing with Music Generation in Cork City when they were only just beginning secondary school.

Now, they are studying music at University College Cork and are among the first Music Generation alumni in the country to take on the role of 'Apprentice Tutor'.

Alongside their own mentors (including Music Generation Cork City partners at the Barrack Street Band and the Mahon Community Concert Band), Amy and Caoimhe are now guiding the next generation of young brass players.

They also head up the New Orleans style youth brass ensemble, Rebel Brass, which was set up originally with Music Generation Cork City mentors Shauna McCullough, Clodagh Kearney and Stephen Manning and is now a self-sustaining band that is managed by its members with input and guidance from friends and family.

This short documentary, filmed long before lock-down during Brass Off 2019, captures a little of their story. Music Generation could not be more proud of what they, and the team supporting them, have achieved.

Music Generation Cork City is part of Music Generation, Ireland's national music education programme, initiated by Music Network and co-funded by U2, The Ireland Funds, the Department of Education and Skills and Local Music Education Partnerships. Locally, Music Generation Cork City is led by Cork Education and Training Board in partnership with Cork City Council, University College Cork, Cork Institute of Technology - CIT and the HSE.

Filmed at: Brass Off 2019, hosted by Music Generation Waterford, in partnership with Music Generation Carlow
