With fellow musician James Shenton, I perform a 35-45 minute set for
primary schools providing a spell binding and educational Celtic Journey
incorporating music and fairy tales from Ireland, Scotland and Galicia,
providing an entertaining, enriching and unique opportunity to enhance
childrens knowledge and awareness of different instruments, of celtic
music and culture.
In more detail this comprises of:
* An introduction to Celtic Music
* A brief introduction to different instruments: Bodhran, Tin Whistle,
Flute, Fiddle, Mandolin
and Uilleann Pipes.
* Tunes from Galicia, Scotland and Ireland
The performance can be linked to many areas of the national curriculum
and can be adapted to include, for example a special focus on creative
story telling or a more in depth exploration of the music and culture.
