Pub songs are raucous, tuneful, and above all, fun! But like the most intricate reel, you need skill and a concentrated approach to play and sing them well. Todd will teach the vocal techniques and rhythmic strategies needed to help you stand and deliver these wonderful ballads and drinking songs. All instruments encouraged.
This July, join fiddler Mary Vanorny for a late 'happy hour' session on Wednesdays at 7:15 pm CST, focusing on the Center for Irish Music’s Common Tunes repertoire, as found on our website: https://www.centerforirishmusic.org/resources.
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.

At Irish Music & Arts Summer Camp, kids will meet new Irish music friends, gathering each day to learn songs, try Irish instruments, listen to stories, do arts & crafts, and learn some myths and legends. Camp will also include dance and sports at Newell Park. Instructors will be both senior CIM staff and advanced CIM students.
Irish Music & Arts Summer Camp is open to all, whether you play an Irish or non-Irish instrument (or no instrument at all!). We will have instruments here to try. Bring lunch and one snack each day.
