About this event

Create your own musical adventure! Participants will choose from a number of songs (sea-faring songs, love songs, songs about fairies) provided by Eoghan to learn the melody and the meaning of the lyrics. After, we will do a bit of lilting, a kind of mouth music traditionally used to carry a tune for dancing when no musical instruments were available. Depending on where the music takes us, participants have the option to learn traditional Sean-nós singing techniques. To end our musical exploration, we will sing songs and lilt a tune together.

-------------------

Cruthaigh eachtra cheoil dhuit féin! Roghnóidh na rannpháirtithe ó roinnt amhráin (amhráin na farraige, amhráin ghrá, amhráin na síoga) a sholáthróidh Eoghan chun an tséis agus brí na liricí a fhoghlaim. Ina dhiaidh sin, déanfaimid beagán ‘lilting’ – cineál béal faiseanta a úsáidtear go traidisiúnta chun port a chruthú le haghaidh damhsa nuair nach raibh uirlisí ceoil ar fáil. Ag brath ar an áit a dtógann an ceol sinn, tá rogha ag na rannpháirtithe teicnící traidisiúnta amhránaíochta ar an Sean-nós a fhoghlaim. Chun deireadh a chur lenár dtaiscéalaíocht cheoil, canfaimid amhráin agus seinnfidh muid ceol le chéile.

**Language: English & Irish. Booking is required. When you reserve a child ticket the accompanying adult goes free. Children must be under the supervision of an accompanying adult at all times.

About the organiser

Organised by
Mother Tongues

Mother Tongues is a social enterprise working to promote multilingualism and intercultural dialogue in Ireland.

Since our foundation in 2017 we have inspired many schools, libraries and community organisations to embrace multilingualism and act as catalysts for change, showing that Ireland welcomes all linguistic and cultural identities, and inspiring future generations of bilingual and multilingual children.

Our goal is to inspire everyone in society to be open to linguistic and cultural diversity and value the benefits that multilingualism brings to individuals, communities and to our society as a whole. Children can reach their full potential by developing English alongside Irish and their family language, but to do so they need parents who are motivated to keep up their mother tongue, teachers who are positive about every language and a society that welcomes linguistic diversity in all its forms.

This is why the projects we develop at Mother Tongues focus on children, by offering them opportunities to develop their language skills, parents, giving them the confidence to transmit their language to their children and teachers, enhancing their awareness of linguistically responsive practice. We work all over Ireland and collaborate with many organisations in the delivery of our programmes.
