Hello and welcome to our online resource for learning Gaelic song, aimed at those studying or teaching in Primary Schools, but will also be useful for those looking for an introduction to Gaelic song.
What is it?
The online toolkit features 4 videos and downloadable resources which have been designed by the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland’s WACI team.
Who is it for?
It is aimed at assisting teachers in teaching school pupils about traditional music in learning to sing in Gaelic where pupils can accompany the songs in real-time with body percussion and actions.
What will you learn?
The videos can be watched as part of one lesson, or as four separate lessons, but they should be watched in order. Feel free stop and start the videos so that the class can learn at a pace that suits them. Optional exercises can also be delivered alongside the videos to provide some context. Otherwise, the videos can be watched on their own.
You will be taken through the steps of learning the Gaelic song ‘Seallaibh curaigh Eòghainn‘ by learning:
- Key Words
- Lyrics and Melody
- Body Percussion and Actions
