Ceoltóirí Chluain Tarbh 2010/2011 programme
After a busy and successful summer at festivals and fleadheanna our 2010/2011 programme kicks off early Septemnber.
Enrolment for our music classes takes place on Saturday September 4th from 9:00 PM to 11:30 PM.
This year we have a number of exciting new initiatives to announce.
We will be holding a beginners' tin whistle class on wednesday evenings 7:00 to 8:00 for children in Carlton
Hall in Marino to cater for young people who cannot make it to our Saturday morning classes because of sporting and other commitments that clash.
Watch this space for more details.
And we haven't forgotten the adult learners either! We are delighted that our Tuesday night adult class/session is so successful and the
participants have improved so much that they can't really be considered beginners anymore!
So to cater for beginners we are starting a new "entry level" class.
This will be suitable for adults playing for 1 to 2 years. This will take place on Tuesday nights from 7:00 to 8:00 in the
Artane Beaument centre.
Our intermediate level class will take place on Tuesdays from 8:00 to 10:00 at the same venue and is suitable for adults with 3 years or more playing behind them.
We resume Tuesday September 9th.
There is more information about our adult programme here.
