The pack allows Fleischmann the educator to return to the classroom.

Cork City Council Arts Office is delighted to present the Education Pack ‘Meet the Professor’ as part of the Centenary celebrations of the birth of Aloys Fleischmann.

Aloys Fleischmann was one of the most influential figures in Cork during the twentieth century. This pack aims to introduce teachers and students to his significant work and legacy. The pack consists of four parts. This book provides biographical information on Aloys Fleischmann. It highlights his early years in Cork, his career as Professor of Music in University College Cork and his remarkable contribution to musical life in Cork and beyond. The accompanying CD contains material that reveals the diverse musical work which Fleischmann was involved in as a composer, researcher, organiser and educator.

The worksheets and copies of original documents are designed to facilitate engagement with aspects of Fleischmann’s story that may be linked to the Junior Cycle Curriculum. They facilitate the engagement with aspects of history, cultural understanding and, of course, music. The poster provides a visual aid to understanding the extent of Fleischmann’s influence on the culture of Ireland.

Packs have been sent to the Music and CSPE teachers of the secondary schools in Cork City. The pack is copyright free to download by teachers, students or anyone who is interested. Click on the links below to download.
