I am So excited to be bringing a Scots Gaelic song workshop to St. Paul, MN!
April 26th, 2014 @ 9:30 AM at the Celtic Junction
No previous Scots Gaelic language knowledge is needed. The study focus is on the music and the purpose of the song. Although, one should expect a few language explanations as needed for the singing. The workshop provides students with the experience of learning the musical purpose of each song. Before a dance tune is learned, the dance step is demonstrated to visually see how the tune rhythm matches with the dance step. As a work song is learned, work song motions are made while singing in order to feel the emphasis on the beat and understand the rise and fall of the song.
I began competitive Scottish Dance at the age of 9 and competed as a premier Highland Dancer until age 22. I also hold a BA in Music Education and I've been teaching Celtic cultural arts through music and dance in school settings since 2003.
I can't wait to share my love of this music with others!
