Caoimhín MacAoidh provided an example where the traditional music community can engage the formal educational system as an ally in promoting and developing traditional music. Under County Donegal Library's Deontais Mhic a' tSaoir funding scheme, Cairdeas na bhFidléirí is working with Coláiste Cholm Cille's secondary Transition Year students to record on both audio and video format the biographies, folklore, and music of traditional players. The students transcribe the spoken and music material which will form a printed collection that will be commercially available.
