We are exceptionally lucky in Gaelscoil Thaobh na Coille that we have many talented  musicians on our teaching staff & that they give of their time so willingly to share their talents with the pupils. Míle buíochas leo.  The children are also extremely lucky that they have  wonderfully supportive parents who enable and encourage them to attend music lessons outside of school. This is a great opportunity  for them.

The Banna Ceoil are in full swing at present preparing  for their participation in Córfhéile. The children will take to the stage in Córfhéile na Scoileanna on Tuesday  the 7th of March at 10.30am in the  National Basketball Arena in Tallaght. The banna ceoil will play an lovely     arrangement of 4 tunes that will showcase the various instruments they play.  Míle buíochas leis na múinteoirí who give of their lunchtimes to bring the Banna Ceoil to life.

The children were made to feel very welcome when they visited Scoil Lorcáin last week for the second music session of the year. Over 200 children from Scoil Lorcáin, Gaelscoil na Cille & Gaelscoil Thaobh na Coille played together in this monster music session.

SEISIÚN CEOIL IDIRSCOILE

The ‘Banna Ceoil Scoile’ is going from strength to strength with well over 70 pupils attending the group rehearsals, twice a week. The Banna Ceoil has established a link with two other schools who also have ‘bannaí ceoil’; Scoil Lorcáin in Monkstown and Gaelscoil na Cille in Ashbourne.

We hosted both schools for a mighty ‘seisiún’ on Tuesday the 8^th of November when 200 pupils from the 3 school came together for the day.  The day’s events included learning some new tunes, a bit of sean nós dancing, some traditional singing and lots of craic!

It was absolutely wonderful to see so many talented young children playing an array of traditional Irish instruments and thoroughly enjoying themselves while doing so.  Two further sessions will be organised later on in the year, one in Scoil Lorcáin, Monkstown and another in Gaelscoil na Cille, Ashbourne.
