Carraig Donn School of Music

12/03/2020

***As per the government announcement earlier today and in the interest of Health & Safety, effective from tomorrow Friday 13th March all music classes at Carraig Donn will be postponed in line with the school closures. We will only re-open when the government deem it safe to. All parents will be contacted when we have this information.

We will work through the Easter break, ensuring that all missed classes during the enforced closure are made up. Should the government recommend us to remain closed for a further period, we may need to extend our term time into the month of June.

Stay safe everyone. Keep washing your hands and don't forget to look out for your neighbours and the elderly at this time.

Here at Carraig Donn we ask that all students wash their hands before and after class and if you like you can use anti-bacterial hand gel as well. All musical instruments are wiped down after each class too.

If your child is unsure what musical instrument they want to learn to play then Exploring Music is the class for them🎶🎤🎷🎸🎹🎺🎻🥁📯

I believe everybody deserves their own unique way of expressing themselves and music is an ideal platform for this. “Exploring Music” lessons are for children of all levels of ability and is designed to make music a fun and interesting experience for your child. They will get to play a variety of musical instruments and explore different types of music from around the world.

One of these very talented bunch of ladies Michelle Mulcahy, was my first ever harp teacher. She made me fall in love with the instrument and gave me a much deeper appreciation and understanding for traditional Irish music. Check her out on TG4 this Sunday 😊
