One of the big draw-backs within school settings due to Covid-19 was the fact that students were unable to partake in classroom singing in the way they were accustomed to. We know the sheer joy and benefits that group singing brings to the lives of children and young people (and research underpins this) and so as the Covid landscape changes (for the better) we stand ready to play our part in restoring and embellishing group singing in schools across Galway county.
Music Generation Galway County is pleased to announce its Galway Schools’ Choir initiative. Participating school classes drawn from different schools will be given expert tuition from our Musician Educator team in the area of group singing. The same vocal repertoire will be offered to individual schools across Galway county and later (in 2022) participating classes will represent their respective schools’ while joining together with a variety of other schools for a performance by Galway Schools’ Choir. It’s a bit like playing for your county team but first doing the ground work with your local club team! We can almost hear these ethereal tones already!
Ceann de na míbhuntáistí is mó laistigh de scoileanna arb é Covid-19 is cúis leis ná nach raibh daltaí in ann a bheith i mbun amhránaíochta sa seomra ranga ar bhealach a raibh taithí acu air.
Tá a fhios againn an méid spraoi agus tairbhe a bhaineann leanaí agus daoine óga as amhráin a chanadh i ngrúpa (agus tá sé sin cruthaithe ag an taighde) agus mar sin, agus feabhas ag teacht ar chomhthéacs Covid, táimid réidh ár gcion a dhéanamh tús a chur le hamhránaíocht ghrúpa i scoileanna Chontae na Gaillimhe in athuair.
Tá áthas ar Music Generation Chontae na Gaillimhe togra Chór Scoileanna na Gaillimhe a fhógairt. Tabharfaidh ár bhfoireann Oideachasóirí Ceoil sainoiliúint in amhránaíocht ghrúpa do na ranganna scoile ó na scoileanna éagsúla a ghlacann páirt. Tairgfear an stór amhrán céanna do scoileanna aonair ar fud Chontae na Gaillimhe, agus ina dhiaidh sin arís (in 2022), déanfaidh na ranganna atá páirteach ionadaíocht ar a scoileanna agus iad ag teacht le chéile le scoileanna eile le haghaidh taibhléiriú Chór Scoileanna na Gaillimhe. Smaoinigh air mar áit a fháil ar fhoireann an chontae i ndiaidh duit diantraenáil a dhéanamh agus imirt go maith le do chlub áitiúil! Ní fada uainn go gcloisimid na fuaimeanna binne sin!
