Amhráin As Gaeilge Le Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh

SONGS IN IRISH

The Irish tradition is rich in singing with thousands of native love songs, pub songs, songs of immigration, songs in Gaeilge (Irish) and songs in English. Songs in the Irish language are beautiful to listen to, however it is normally a challenge for anyone to access these songs unless they have a good understanding of the Irish language. Songs in Irish makes these  songs  more accessible to both the Irish learner and the non-Irish speaker. This course is not only fantastic for music learners but also for learners of the Irish language as songs are the best way to familiarise oneself with the rhythms and sounds of any language.

By the end of the course, you will have a richer appreciation for the Irish tradition and a repertoire of six Irish songs: lively songs, slow songs and funny songs. Song lyrics, written music, chords and English translations are included for each song. The course has 12 lessons, with 2 tutorials each.
