Our Lady of Mercy N.S. provides a holistic musical education with an ethos of inclusion and excellence. Children of all abilities are catered for. In the classroom the children follow “The Right Note” music programme. Every child in the school also performs in annual Christmas concerts and shows. All classes join every year and perform at the Christmas School Mass. Talented singers are often discovered and given ample opportunity to showcase their voices in small groups and in solo settings.
We are also fortunate to have many instrumentalists throughout the school. All pupils are encouraged to perform on their own or in small ensembles.
Musicians often come from outside the school to perform for the children and to introduce them to different musical genres.
National Children's Choir
This year pupils from 4th, 5th and 6th Classes participated in the National Children's Choir in West Cork. they worked very hard learning an amazing repertoire. On April 11th they sang in a wonderful concert in Drimoleague with other schools from West Cork. It was a truly incredible night of entertainment with teachers and parents astonished at the progress that the choir had made. Helena o'Callaghan and India Spillane went on to represent our school in the National Concert Hall in Dublin, along with pupils from all over the country. Well done to all!
