Join Celtic Cuties instructor Alisa Mee for family storytime in Newell Park from 9:30-10:15 am on Saturday mornings this summer on June 18 and July 16. These free programs will feature stories, songs, rhymes, and puppets to encourage early literacy skills and music development. Best for children aged birth to five and their caregivers.
Irish music is most fun when it is played with friends! Join Brian Miller for the Beginning Ensemble in 2021-22, an in-person class. This first-time mixed-instrument ensemble is open to musicians ages 9-12 who know about 10-15 full-length Irish tunes (jigs, reels, or polkas). This class is a great opportunity to meet new Irish music friends who play different instruments, and to improve your Irish music skills which include learning music by ear, rhythm, pitch and repertoire!
Directed by Mary Vanorny and Hannah Flowers, students will learn tunes and arrange them in sets to perform together as a group. This class has a strong focus on building ensemble skills including playing fluently, adding variations, listening to each other, maintaining excellent rhythm, using simple harmonies, preparing for performance, increasing knowledge of traditional Irish music, and having fun with each other and the music!
Join Iain Dove McAfee this summer for a continuation of Norah's beginning tin whistle class! The tin whistle is a rewarding Irish instrument and a great fit for young musicians with small hands. We will help your child learn to play jigs, marches and polkas! Parental support of a regular practice routine is expected.
This ensemble is for learning to play together with fellow musicians, challenging one another to learn new tunes and belt them out with great rhythm and style. This ensemble will meet in person and will focus on playing together with other accompaniment and melody players. As a group, the Wren Intermediate Ensemble is non-competitive. Taught by flute player and guitarist Iain Dove McAfee.
