20th - 22nd July 2026 10am - 4:30pm daily
A three-day accredited intensive CPD course for Primary & Secondary School Teachers and Choir Leaders.
This professional development course is designed for conductors who work with or dream of running a children’s or youth choir. You don’t need to be a musician. You don’t need to read music fluently. What you need is enthusiasm and a love of singing. Over three full days at the Irish Institute of Music & Song you will develop practical conducting skills, deepen your understanding of how children’s voices work, build a toolkit of warm-ups and repertoire and leave with everything you need to lead a choir with confidence in the upcoming term.
