What’s it all about ?
Bodhrán Beats workshops are designed to enhance participants appreciation and love of music. We use a hands-on approach to music making ultimately resulting in an exciting live performance. Our workshops are fun, fun, fun and have been used time and time again by TY coordinators, JCSP coordinators, primary schools, junior cert students and leaving cert students.
The great thing about ‘Bodhrán Beats’ is you don’t need any musical experience to enjoy the workshop. Expert facilitator Robert O Connor will guide each participant through the learning experience, encouraging collaboration and teamwork amongst the group. Each workshop focuses on the three strands of music outlined in the primary curriculum, composition, listening and responding, and performance. Each student will learn the importance of rhythm, tempo and timing when working as an ensemble.Save
