...that more than forty students have performed as members of Celtic Music Society in grades 7-12?

Students in Celtic Music Society used to receive a new edition of our music book once or twice each year. New music is introduced constantly throughout the school year, and back then it would be incorporated into a new edition.

In keeping with the Irish music tradition, our music is now introduced by rote, and most of it is never notated for students.

The music on this page is from the January 2003 edition.
