In collaboration with the secondary school music departments, a course and resource pack about Manx music was designed by the Manx Music Specialist for use at Key Stage 3. ‘Kiaull Manninagh’ [Manx Music] features the various genres of Manx music past and present, introduces the instruments now associated with traditional music, contains compositional exercises in the Manx idiom in line with the national curriculum and comes with a double CD of listening examples.
