Description: Sean-Nós is more than just a singing style—it is a living tradition that bridges the past and present. Each singer contributes to its evolution, ensuring it remains an enduring and cherished part of Irish culture.

Introduction to Sean-Nós Singing is a three-day class designed to immerse you in one of Ireland’s most expressive and intimate musical traditions. Sean-Nós, meaning "old style" in Irish, is not just a way of singing but a deeply personal and emotive storytelling art passed down through generations.

This class will explore the unique characteristics of Sean-Nós, including its free-flowing melody, rich ornamentation, and deep cultural roots. Over three days, you’ll learn foundational songs from the Ulster/Donegal tradition, develop essential techniques, and discover how to shape the melody in your own voice. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced singer, this course will guide you in finding your own connection to the tradition.

Let your voice tell the story, let the song shape itself through you, and together, we’ll bring these songs to life.
