A music student has called for publicly funded music lessons in Ireland ahead of a new documentary.
Sean Shannon recently completed his first year at the Royal Irish Academy of Music. The talented pianist is one of several RIAM students sharing their stories in 'Face the Music', a documentary which commemorates the music school's 175th anniversary.
The 18-year-old's musical prowess is impressive, considering he did not have a piano or formal music lessons growing up. Sean first picked up the skill as a young child- on a toy piano owned by his sister.
