The Arts in Glasheen

We are very proud of the strong musical tradition in our school. Our students can enjoy a number of musical experiences during and after school hours.

School Choir   Image result for creative commons images for music

Our school choir , under the direction of Ms. Fitzgerald and Ms. Tierney and supported by In. Uí Bhriain and Bn. Uí Cheilleachair meet every Thursday for their hourly rehearsal (2.30-3.30) . Pupils from fourth to sixth class are encouraged to join. Anyone who enjoys singing and is prepared to commit to rehearsals and performances is welcome to become a member. We aim to foster a lifelong love of music in the students and teach a broad selection of songs in our class.

Last year the choir performed at a variety of events including our school Open Evening , the Communion Ceremony this year and also a Christmas concert in St. Peter and Paul’s Church. Every year, at Christmas the choir fund raises for The Irish Guide Dogs Association. This year the choir performed at the Cór Fhéile in the City Hall and gave an excellent performance. They entertained  the audience during our Summer concert this year with their beautiful harmonies and wonderful singing.

 

Tin Whistle  Image result for creative commons image of tinwhistle

The development of music literacy in pupils is a central part of the music curriculum. In our school all children from 1st Class upwards receive a half hour tin whistle lesson every week by a member of Comhaltas. During these lessons they learn how to read music and learn about music theory. A wide variety of traditional Irish tunes are taught to the pupils and we are very proud of the progress they make. This ability to play an instrument has proven to be invaluable to the students if choosing music as a subject in secondary school and also in later life.

Ukulele Classes Related image

This year, the school has purchased a number of ukuleles to be used in a Ukulele class being taught by a staff member Ms. Fitzgerald after school on Tuesdays. These classes have been a resounding success and some budding musicians have come to the fore. She also runs a class for staff members so watch out for our first gig!

Concerts  

A summer concert is held in the school every second year. This big production involves all the pupils in the school. This event is always very well supported and the pupils enjoy it immensely. Our production this year was moved to the Ballyphehane theatre. The audience enjoyed Eddie the Penguin performed by 2nd class, The Greatest Showman performed by 3rd and 4th class and  ” What a Corker” a 1hr play performed by pupils from 5th and 6th class written by staff member Bn. Uí Cheilleachair. Our younger students had their own special production in the school hall. Infants performed ” Sunflower” and the pupils of 1st class performed “Alice in Wonderland”

At Christmas, all classes perform at a carol service in the Lough Church. This is a simple and prayerful occasion to focus on the true meaning of Christmas.

Different classes perform at the annual Cór Féile each year.

Confirmation and Communion 2021
Our parents in 2nd Classes & 6th Class were sent an email from the Bishop of Cork and Ross about Communion & Confirmation (2021) today. We hope to be able to arrange dates, as soon as we can but cannot do so until there is more certainty. What we didn't want to do was to announce dates that may need to be changed, leading to upset and disappointment for families. We will look forward to these happy occasions, in the near future, & will give you the dates, as soon as we get the go ahead.
