Rohan Young (age 20) is a bodhran tutor at the school. He is originally from Dublin but spent most of his life in Belfast. He has been playing the bodhran for over 10 years. His first tutor (at the age of 10) was Tommy Taylor. His other previous tutors include Conan McDonald and Michelle McGowan. Rohan is a past pupil of the school and he began teaching there five years ago. He presently has 10 pupils of a wide age range in his class. As well as teaching, Rohan plays at traditional Irish music sessions throughout Belfast. | |||
| Rohan is also a skilled bodhran maker. He made his first bodhran for a G.C.S.E. woodwork project. Because the course required a demonstration of the students ability to create joints the bodhran he made is twelve-sided. This has become a hallmark of his bodhrans. He has a workshop at his house where he has been making bodhrans ever since. | |||
