On the weekend of Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 February 2025 we will be holding music workshops in a wide range of instruments for pupils from experienced beginners and upwards.

The workshops will run from 10am – 2.30pm at Edmund Rice College.

​

Cost is only £10* per day for GSOTM pupils, £20 per day for others, which is fantastic value and a worthwhile opportunity for intensive tuition with a great lineup of teachers.

​

*Introduction to Highland Bagpipes is £20 for the 2-day course.

​

On Sunday 23 February, we will be holding a seisúin after the workshops at St. Enda's GAC, just off the Hightown Road, from 2.30pm onwards for workshop participants and any others that wish to join us.

​

Please note:

 

• We will limit the numbers in the classes and most, if not all, of the teachers' workshops will be very popular and will fill up very quickly.​

• One workshop, Banjo, is scheduled with Intermediate to Advanced on Saturday 22, followed by Experienced Beginners to Improvers on Sunday 23. This is to allow pupils to attend more than one workshop day - e.g. Banjo and Fiddle.
