Music Festival

See you all there!

�ClassicalThis year’s festival welcomes the Mobile Music Machine for a host of workshops, performances and festival fun.

A note from Mobile Music Machine to students;“We spend our days travelling the highways and byways, all around the globe. Our primary goal is to share our passion for music with every boy girl in Ireland! This week we will be in your town and will pay you a visit. Hey Presto- we will transform the classroom into a concert hall. Sit up and listen, meet the instruments, become a conductor, sing a song, bang the drum- and let us take you on a musical adventure! We will travel across the world and far back in time to meet the composers. We involve every child in our workshops, and actively encourage questions. Ask us everything you want to know about music- How do you take the cello on a plane? What’s it like to record music in a studio? Who was that Mozart fella anyway- and just what is a symphony while we’re at it??? We tailor our presentation to the age of the class, and impart our knowledge in a fun and enthusiastic manner. Our goal is to let our music do the talking! We also provide your school with an advance information pack before we visit so you can make a homemade instrument for use in the workshop………..we are really excited to be part of Ruaille Buaille this year”
