The Launch of Air Guitar Strings with The Musical Youth Foundation (MYF)
Photography is more than just capturing moments; it’s about telling stories, and that’s exactly what I had the privilege of doing when I was tasked with photographing the launch of Air Guitar Strings for the Musical Youth Foundation (MYF).
Held at the Central Model Senior School in Dublin 1, this special event marked an exciting milestone in the charity’s mission to provide musical instruments and opportunities to young people. The launch of Air Guitar Strings, an initiative by MYF founder Chris Maher, aimed to make musical education and participation more accessible for children.
As a photographer, I had the honour of documenting this event, capturing the energy, passion, and enthusiasm of the 2nd class pupils who helped bring this incredible project to life.
Air Guitar Strings – An Innovative Initiative by MYF
The event centred around the launch of Air Guitar Strings, a creative program designed to introduce children to the world of music through innovative and interactive methods. These 2nd-class pupils from Central Model Senior School became the first to participate in this exciting project.
Led by Chris Maher, the founder of The Musical Youth Foundation, the program seeks to inspire young minds, build confidence, and provide a gateway for students to engage in music, especially those who may not have access to instruments at home.
During the launch, the pupils took part in various music-based activities, experiencing firsthand how music can be a powerful tool for self-expression and creativity. It was a moment of joy and inspiration for both the children and the teachers involved.
A Day Captured Through My Lens
As the official photographer, my goal was to document not just the event itself, but the sheer excitement and energy of the children as they immersed themselves in the world of music. Here are some of the highlights I was able to capture:
My Photo Featured in the Sunday World
One of the most exciting moments for me as a photographer was when one of my photos from the event was featured in the Sunday World. This recognition was an amazing acknowledgement of the powerful and inspiring work being done by the Musical Youth Foundation, and it was a great honour to see my work contributing to such a meaningful cause.
