Educational Value

The show integrates the various forms of high-quality Irish traditional performance arts while simultaneously providing opportunities for pupil activity. These activities incorporate the three curricular strands - listening and responding, performing and composing.

The Class Trad show includes a varied repertoire of Jigs, Reels, Slow Airs, Hornpipes, Polkas, Slides and other melodies, with introductions to the pieces, a history of the instruments, explanations of the rhythms and discussion and question sessions.

The Class Trad performance involves whole class participation, where the pupils are encouraged to participate as appropriate.

Tá Gaeilge líofa ag foireann Class Trad agus is aoibhinn linn an taispeántas a chur ar fáil trí mheán na Gaeilge mar a oireann.
