Practice Makes Perfect! Our best concert yet!

After weeks of songwriting, learning words and practicing our new tunes, we were finally ready! We had a great concert in Southill Family Church with all three schools, Galvone, Southill Juniors and St Mary's Boys. It was hard work but it was worth it! We sang our brand new songs, and played our violins. This was the first time that Southill Juniors and St Mary's Boys School played in public. We were really proud of everyone involved! Thank you to all our teachers and Lisa, Yuki, Gillian, Tony, Niamh, Aine and Rachel.

Kids record their own CD!


Galvone National School recorded a CD of some of their songs and, to celebrate, had a launch party at their school on Friday 15th October. It was a great celebration, with guests from the community including the Deputy Mayor and friends of Sing Out, Size 2 Shoes! We were even on the 9 O'Clock News!

Welcome to Sing Out With Strings!

Sing Out with Strings is about to enter its third year! To celebrate, we have decided to set up this blog so that children taking part in the project can communicate from school to school, choir to choir, orchestra to orchestra and they can share what they are learning about music!

The blog will officially begin in September 2010 so keep your eyes peeled!
