Tuition is in large and small group classes (there’s a max of 8 players on any course) – and in ‘practice periods’ there is lots of individual assistance from the teachers on the teacher’s course (which runs alongside the summer-school). \nThe course content embraces all you need to flourish as a performer and social player – from ‘technical workshops’ to warm-up for improved agility and chord-skills\, and a brace of tunes at all player-levels so all can participate in social play (in ‘the session’). There are activities\, concerts or sessions every evening and a half day on Wednesday (or Thursday if the weather is poor) when we take a half day trip out to the island of Arannmore\, the magnificent Glenveigh National Park and Nature Reserve or a walk up Mount Errigal\, Donegal’s legendary mountain. \nTeens are fully supervised at all times both at the Summer School Centre and ‘out and about’. In the evenings they will join Janet and her assistant for dinner (and in advance of the course\, Janet will discuss with the parents/guardians about ‘dinner accounts’ if preferred to the teen’s financial independence). Janet is fully qualified in Child Safeguarding and Protection and will act ‘in loco parentis’ assuring parents of fully responsible management. \nClasses run 9.30 – 3pm daily except for Friday when we start at 10am and finish at 5pm. \nAccommodated participants \nArrive Sunday from 2pm – Depart Saturday after breakfast\nJoin us for supper on Sunday evening at 8.30pm or on Monday Morning at 9.30 \nADULTS course and inclusions \n\n5 days of Summer School training\nAll evening activities\, concerts\, lectures etc\nTraining book of tunes covered\nSupper on Sunday\, lunches Monday-Friday\, Coffee\, Tea breaks (Evenings we eat out or self-cater.

The cottages have sitting rooms and fully equipped kitchens (so people can choose how they wish to have their evening meals – cooking in or eating out!) Lunches are provided with the courses. (Local children on weeks 2 & 4 are invited to bring packed lunches.) \nAfternoon Options\nFor walks\, swims\, exploring\, shopping\, relaxing\, practising – Dungloe is a wonderful Donegal town with lots to offer. Closely located to Glenveagh National Park and Mount Errigal\, Donegal’s most spectacular mountain surrounded by an exceptional area of natural beauty and nature conservation\, and there is a superb range of walks for everyone from seasoned hikers to leisurely wanderers. On Wednesday\, we have an afternoon off to take a trip to the park\, or the mountain\, or a boat trip to the island of Arranmore with dolphin and whale spotting with seabirds and sandy beaches.
