Welcome To the Swinging Strings Blog

The Swinging Strings Project would like to welcome pupils, parents and all interested parties to our website. This blog tracks the progress of 80+ children (and their teachers!) as they learn the violin. It is intended to act as a resource for the pupils as they progress and act as an information point for parents, teachers etc.

The project is delivered on an inclusive basis and links to the Irish Primary Music Curriculum. This means that ALL students particpate irrespective of musical backgrounds. It is believed that it is the one of biggest inclusive projects of its kind in the country. Have a look around and learn all about our violin project. Our cover photo was taken by award winning press photographer, John Kelly.

Well done everyone,  the final rehearsal in the hall although organised at short notice went very well .  See last weeks post for draft programme . We will practice spoken links next Wednesday before the concert .  I am really looking forward to our first performance  after  ten weeks of lessons. You have made great progress! I called to see Mr. Corry's class yesterday to practice the Rudolph Retakes and rehearse the double bass solo .  It's looking good !
