Some ideas for rehearsing together while staying apart:
- Learn online, over the phone or from songs available through SingIreland.ie and The Royal Irish Academy of Music, on this site and through our social media
- Sing along with family, friends, your neighbours
- Join in an online class – we will start listing them here
- Tune in to radio and TV features on RTE
- Sing at the kitchen table, over the fence, at your front gate with your neighbours, or in your favourite armchair
- You might learn a new song, recall old ones, debate the best ones
- Try new ways to sing, get creative and compose something new to share.
Above all, stay safe, stay within the government guidelines on social distancing! Together while apart.
