Our after-school Music Hubs re-open when schools return after the Easter break (week beginning April 13th).

Ceol i do Cheantar...

De réir mar a leanann muid orainn ag cur ceoil ar fáil do chách, tá áthas orainn a fhógairt gur osclaíomar ár Mol Ceoil seachtainiúil nua in Inis Bó Finne an mhí seo caite!

Leanfaidh ár Moil Cheoil ar aghaidh tar éis shos na Cásca (an tseachtain ag tosú 13 Aibreán).
Mura bhfuil tús curtha agat leis an turas linn fós - ní rómhall riamh!
Cén fáth nach dtriailfeá ár Mol Ceoil i do cheantar idir seo agus Bealtaine agus tú féin a shocrú le haghaidh téarma iomlán ó Mheán Fómhair?

GALWAY COUNTY MUSIC HUBS

Our Music Hubs are in full swing but we still a few spaces remaining!

Do you know someone (8-18 years) interested in:
-starting instrumental or vocal lessons for the first time?
-further developing their performance skills?
-starting a new instrument?

Try one of our 110 classes in a variety of instruments across our 11 after-school Music Hubs in Clifden, Ballinasloe, Kinvara, Glenamaddy, Gort, Headford, Loughrea, Oranmore, Tuam, Moycullen & Portumna.

We are proud to see our Music For All Hub in Oranmore flourishing, breaking down barriers and ensuring that children and young people with additional and complex needs have equitable access to empowering musical experiences.

We also offer an instrument rental scheme to our students; so for those who don't have an instrument, this shouldn't prevent you from starting to learn as these instruments are available from us at nominal rates.

Tá ár ionad cheoil faoi lán seoil ach tá cúpla spás fágtha fós!

An bhfuil aithne agat ar éinne (8-18 mbliana d'aois) a mbeadh suim acu:
-i gceachtanna uirlise nó gutha a thosú den chéad uair?
-a gcuid seinm ceoil a fhorbairt?
-uirlis nua a fhoghlaim?

Bain triail as ceann dár 110 rang i rogha uirlisí ceoil inár 11 ionad ceoil, a thosaíonn i ndiaidh an lae scoile i gClochán, i mBéal Átha na Sluaighe, i gCinn Mhara, i nGleann na Madadh, i nGort, i gCeannfort, i mBaile Locha Riach, in Órán Mór, i dTuaim, i Maigh Cuilinn agus i Port Omna.

Cuirimid scéim cíosa uirlisí ar fáil dár mic léinn chomh maith. Dóibh siúd nach bhfuil uirlis cheoil acu, ní stopfaidh sé seo iad a foghlaim, cé go bhfuil na huirlisí ceoil seo ar fáil uainn ar rátaí ísle.

Ná caill amach... glac an chéad chéim; líon isteach ár bhfoirm chun do spéis a léiriú ag an nasc agus rachaidh ár bhfoireann i dteagmháil leat. Oibríonn ár múinteoirí ceoil le grúpaí beaga (ní 1:1) agus mar sin cuirtear áiteanna ar fáil don chéad dream a dhéanann teagmháil.

Music Generation Galway County

Don’t miss this weekend’s masterclasses. Some of Ireland’s finest musicians & tutors will be with us at Coláiste Bhaile Chláir, (Claregalway) this Saturday (15th).

There’s still some space in a handful of classes. Check out Harp with Holly Geraghty and amhrán with Piaras O’Lorcáin for instance. Sean-Nós dance with Oireachtas na Samhna 2025 winner Becky. What a line-up. The fiddle class with Tara Breen is sold out & others are on their way. So be quick!

Classes will be followed by a céilí led by Christy MacGearailt and a session hosted by Damian McKee, Eamon Murray & Liam Bradley (Beoga) & Zoran Donohoe (Biird)

🎶🎶🎶✨✨✨

Bí cinnte gan ár máistir-ranganna a chailleadh an deireadh seachtaine seo. Beidh roinnt de na ceoltóirí is fearr sa tír linn i gColáiste Bhaile Chláir, Dé Satharn beag seo (15ú).

Tá spás fós fágtha i roinnt de na ranganna. Mar shampla, ranganna cláirsí le Holly Geraghty, amhránaíocht le Piaras Ó Lorcáin agus damhsa ar a sean nós le buaiteoir Steip 2025, Becky Ní Éallaithe. Nach bhfuil an t-ádh orainn!! Tá na ranganna fidile le Tara Breen díolta amach agus is gearr go mbeidh na ranganna eile freisin. Mar sin déanaigí deifir agus cláraigh anois!

I ndiaidh na ranganna beidh céilí ar siúl faoi stiúr Christy Mac Gearailt agus seisiún ceoil faoi stiúr Damian McKee, Eamon Murray & Liam Bradley (Beoga) & Zoran Donohue (Biird).
