Music Schools
If five days of total immersion in Irish music sounds like your idea of a challenge, an Irish music school programme might be just the thing. In these intensive courses, you will have an opportunity to see a new side to the Irish tradition, learning from masters of the art. You will have the opportunity to learn your instrument or singing from a new vantage point, socialise with fellow music-lovers and perform for an appreciative audience. What’s not to like?
