Course Synopsis:
Songs in the Irish language (as Gaeilge) are beautiful to listen to, however, it is a challenge for anyone to access these songs unless they have a good understanding of the Irish language. In her course ‘Songs in Irish’, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh makes these songs more accessible to both the Irish learner and the non-Irish speaker. She gives background information for each of the songs before breaking down the pronunciation of each phrase slowly. She then puts the melody to the words and gives expert advice on ornamentation, phrasing, breathing and other singing techniques. This course is not only fantastic for music learners but also for learners of the Irish language as songs are the best way to familiarise oneself with the rhythms and sounds of any language. The songs in this course are structured from the easiest to the most difficult so that students can build on their skills as they progress through the songs. By the end of the course, you will have a richer appreciation for the Irish tradition and a repertoire of six Irish songs - lively songs, slow songs, and funny songs. Song lyrics, written music, chords, and English translations are all included for each song.

Muireann is a native Irish speaker and a regular contributor on TG4, Ireland's Irish language television, Radio na Gaeltachta and BBC Alba. Most recently she has co-presented and performed on the award-winning series ‘Port’ on TG4 / BBC Alba alongside Scots Gaelic singer Julie Fowlis.
