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.

Mazel tov


Great to be back in Room 12 after a break of a few weeks.  Today we listened to some Klezmer music and played along with a song called Mazel tov . Mr Corry tells me that the phrase features in a song by chart topper will. I .am.

Mr Walsh's class worked on the Three Little Pigs and Ms Walsh began work a musical illustration to Three Billy Goats Gruff.

Next week Annie and Farah Lisa have agreed to play something
