The literature on bimusicality addresses how it has evolved in various social and educational contexts. This research focuses on the bimusical learning processes and practices of students, aged sixteen to twenty years, as they cross between the different learning modes associated with these two musical traditions in an Irish context. This qualitative study adopts a collective case study approach, using a purposive sampling strategy. Data collected include: videotaped lessons, recorded practice/playing sessions, observations of a range of music-making activities, and interviews with the participants, their parents and teachers.

  • First Feis Tips
    What is a Feis? A feis is an Irish Dance Competition. It is loud, crowded, exciting, exasperating, exhilarating, fun, and tiring. A feis rarely runs on time. Filling Out the Feis Entry Form There are four things you must know when completing a feis registration form for your child. 1) Send in your forms early. Irish dancing is very popular and competitions reach their caps quickly. Many feisianna (plural of feis) use the “efeis” system or an online entering system.. Hey, we’re in the “know”! 2) Know the level at which your child is dancing. An Coimisiun le Rinci Gaelacha (the governing body for Irish Dancing) has set guidelines for levels and level advancement. The T.C.R.G. (Certified Irish Dance Teacher) of your individual school can require stricter guidelines. Beginner: A dancer who is in their first year. They have not taken Irish Dance classes with a certified teacher prior to September 1st of the current year. Summer beginner workshops do NOT affect beginner status. Advanced Beginner: Dancers move to Advanced Beginner after completion of the Beginner level. Novice A dancer who has placed 1st or 2nd as an Advanced Beginner in reel, light jig, and slip jig in a feis sanctioned by the North American Feis Commission (N.A.F.C.) of five competitors or more. Prizewinner: A dancer who has placed 1st in all four required dances as a Novice dancer in a feis sanctioned by the N.A.F.C. of five competitors or more. Preliminary Champion: A dancer who has placed 1st in all four required dances as a Prizewinner dancer in a feis sanctioned by the N.A.F.C.
