Family School. In 2012 the school was winner of the inaugural Walton’s Music in
Schools competition, and the choir participated in the Peace Proms for a second
successive year. The <i>string </i>programme was first
commissioned in 2010 by Principal Sarah Barnes. It is one of a small
but growing number of inclusive class
based music tuition projects running in Irish schools with the aim of introducing every child to playing an
instrument and participating as a team with their classmates. The project is
coordinated by Jillian Bridge and the team includes class teachers
Mr Ryan, Mr Corbett and Ms Faherty. Graduates of last year’s programme have
continued to receive mentoring by Mr Connolly and are represented in the HFSS Band today . To date 250 children
at HFSS over three years have now
participated and received two terms of violin tuition as part of their
school curriculum and participated in a number of performances. </span><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Monotype Corsiva"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Is é Seachtain na Gaeilge. Bhi go leor mar gheall ar ceol damhsa ar an chláir inniu. Tá suim sa ceol Gaelach ar fud an domhain. Riverdance , a theatre show based on Irish traditional dance has been touring the world for 20 years and has been seen and loved by millions all over the world. The show grew from a a six minute interval act in an international song competition. Dublin was hosting the competition that year. You can see for yourself what made us so excited Here is interval act from the 1994 in the clip below. The best bit I think is when the two solo dancers are joined by the full company of dancers about 4 and 1/2 minutes in . The dancers feet in hard dancing shoes made a great percussion sound<br /><br /><br />Here are the rhythms we played today<br /><br /><br />Port - Jig 6/8 The Irish Washerwoman Wriggleys chewing gum<br /><br /><br />Ríl -Reel 4 beats in a bar. McLeod's Reel Kilfenora Cei-li Dan-cer<br /><br /><br />Polka John Ryan's Polka 1 2 1 skip rhythm<br /><br /><br />Hornpipe- 4 beats like a reel but slower tempo<br /><br />Heartbeat rhythm (dotted rhythm) Cornpíopa Off to California<br /><br /><br />I enjoyed my visit as a guest to 2nd class today for more singing and playing.<br /><br />Buíochas díobh go léir.</div>

director of the string programme at the school explained. 'The Level 1 Stringschool programme provided violin tuition to every 4th class student. That finished in May and there was an option for interested students to continue.</span>Over the last six weeks a group of eighteen students drawn from three 4th classes have continued to have violin lessons in small groups as part of their curriculum. The final class of
term fell on 21<sup>st</sup> June , Midsummer Day . Love e Live Music Day, an initiative which encouraged live music events all over Europe. At Holy Family School we marked the day in our own way with a special promenade music class. We marched around the grounds of the school yard playing different rhythms as we went , and paused at each corner to play one of our tunes . When we got to
the corner where the Montessori school is sited, the boys and girls came
out to see what was going on and
stayed to hear the older children play.</div>

<b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">It
was a fiddle fest at Holy Family School Hall</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> last week as 80 violin students
took to the platform to showcase their musical
skills for an invited audience of friends and family in their debut
concert. For a second year running , pupils of 4th class at Holy Family
Senior School have had regular violin lessons timetabled as part of their
curriculum and all three class ensembles joined their colleagues in the school
choir and marching band to delight the capacity house with their
newly acquired skills . <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">In her introduction to the young performers, <b>Principal Sarah Barnes</b> said she was
very proud of them all. She spoke also about the commitment of Holy Family
School to inclusivity in its’ artistic
endeavors. It was an aim at Holy Family
that every child in the class had an opportunity to receive a good quality music education she said. ‘There is much evidence in studies to show
that, literacy, numeracy and attention
focus all benefit from even a small amount of instrumental tuition’ she added.
She said she was particularly delighted to see a group of last years beginners carry on and take an active part in the Holy
Family Band. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Director of the Holy Family Choir, Ms <b>Jillian Bridge</b> said the
choir members were excited to be part of the morning showcase with their peers.
They had been busy with various engagements since representing Holy Family in
their winning entry in the Walton’s Music in Schools competition last March. A
highlight was being part of massed choirs at
the Peace Proms at University Concert Hall in February and working with
acclaimed conductor Gearóid Grant, she
said . ‘Part of the Walton’s prize money went to purchase new violins for the
string programme but we are seeking to add to our instrument bank and the
school are seeking donations of old violins so if you have one lying under a
bed or in the attic at home please consider donating it and we will put it to
good use’ she said. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Over the course of the concert, students stepped forward to
introduce items drawn from classical, popular and traditional genres. For a finale musicians and singers joined
forces in a terrific rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star before the band
under director <b>Mr Hugh Connolly</b> closed the proceedings with a rousing medley
of marches. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

of Stringschool said she was. thrilled with the students and what they had
accomplished . ‘ Every student has
learned the basics of what is involved
in playing violin and has acquired skills they can transfer to whatever
instrument they may take up’ . ‘Classes continue for the remainder of term with
a smaller group and interest has been strong with 25% of the original cohort
opting for a follow on course’. Further information on the music at Holy family
School including the string project can be found on the school website <a href="http://www.hfss.org/">www.hfss.org</a> and <a href="http://www.holyfamilystrings.blogspot.com/">www.holyfamilystrings.blogspot.com</a>
