With Term Two of 23/24 coming to a close, we wanted to recap all the amazing music for schools programmes and workshops we delivered! We had a blast delivering music for schools nationwide throughout the term, and we are extremely grateful to each and every school that we delivered our workshops and programmes in. Further, we’re extremely grateful to all of our amazing tutors, who worked so hard this term. We had a really busy term, full of great moments! Considering this, read on below for our highlights of the term!
Music for Schools: Our Term 2 Highlights
Schools visited:
We had a bumper term, and as a result, we worked in 31 schools, across 10 counties. We also delivered 5 short programmes, and 124 workshops. Further, we also delivered workshops and live music performances workshops in 9 libraries and events! We were delighted to be kept so busy, and we’re extremely grateful to every school who worked with us over the term!
Seachtain na Gaeilge
Seachtain na Gaeilge (Irish Language Week) is an international Irish language festival and one of the biggest international celebrations of our native language and culture. The festival runs from 1 – 17 March every year. Schools nationwide spend this period learning about the Irish language, music and culture. Each year, Seachtain na Gaeilge proves to be our busiest time of year!
This year for Seachtain na Gaeilge, we offered our Let’s Explore workshops,Let’s Drum or Trad Sessions workshops for schools, either as Gaeilge, or incorporating Gaeilge, depending on the school’s preference. Our team is so lucky to have facilitators who speak fluent Irish. As a result, we were able to offer “craic agus ceol” workshops for schools for Seachtain na Gaeilge! We had a blast, and are already looking forward to Seachtain na Gaeilge next year!
