Tá traidisiún láidir ceol agus amhránaíochta in ár scoil agus is cuid lárnach dár saol laethúil iad. Spreagtar na páistí ó aois óg le ceol a chothú agus páirt ghníomhach a ghlacadh ann idir éisteacht agus seint.

Tosaíonn gach dalta ag foghlaim an fheadóg stáin i Rang a hAon, rud a chuireann bunchéimeanna láidre ceoil ar fáil dóibh. De réir mar a théann siad ar aghaidh, bíonn deis acu triail a bhaint as uirlisí éagsúla. Tá an t-ádh linn go bhfuil banc uirlisí ceoil sa scoil, gur féidir leis na páistí a thógaint ar iasacht. Tugann sé seo seans dóibh uirlis a thriail sula gceannaíonn siad a gceann féin.

Táimid thar a bheith bródúil as an traidisiún ceoil láidir atá againn. Tugann amhránaíocht agus ceol árdú chroí do phobal na scoile agus roinntear iad go rialta ag ócáidí, ceiliúrtha agus drámaí scoile. Faoi stiúir ár gceoltóra cumasaí, Marian Cournane. Tagann forbairt ar muinín agus a gcruthaitheacht agus coimeádann siad an traidisiún seo beo.

Singing and music have a strong tradition in our school and are a central part of our daily life. From an early age, children are encouraged to nurture a love of music and to take an active part, both in listening and performing.

All pupils begin learning the tin whistle in Rang 1, giving them a strong foundation in music. As they progress, they have the opportunity to try out different instruments. We are very fortunate to have a bank of musical instruments in the school, which children can borrow on loan. This allows them to explore and find the instrument that suits them best before purchasing their own.

We are extremely proud of our school’s rich musical tradition. Singing and music bring joy to our school community and are shared at regular events, celebrations and musicals. Under the guidance of our talented music teacher, Marian Cournane, pupils develop their confidence and creativity while keeping this tradition alive.
