Who in Ireland didn’t have piano lessons as a kid? You’d go after school one night a week, and brag to your classmates about what grade you are.

The filmmakers traveled across the country in an attempt to discover what people get out of music, and the happiness the instrument brings.
The film features people from as far as Kylemore Abbey in Galway, down to Crosshaven in Cork, and up to Derry City.
Perhaps the biggest character to emerge from the trailer is the nun who teaches the instrument to young kids.
