Gaelic Song Class (online)
Bria’s Gaelic Song class has been running since 2018. Students learn one song per week, chosen from a variety of eras and genres. Bria discusses the literary context of the song as well as going over pronunciation, translation, and grammar points (and of course the tune!). The final class is a sing-through of all the songs learned during the term.
The class is ideal for Gaelic learners, but anyone with an interest in the material is very welcome, even if you have no Gaelic! It’s a relaxed, quirky, friendly class.

What Bria’s students say:
“Our classes with Bria are fun and stimulating. She encourages and is sensitive to our learning needs. A very creative teacher, full of ideas to help me learn.”
“Learning Gaelic with Bria is really good fun – and challenging. Bria has the knack of pitching lessons at the right level for the class in front of her. She is a very patient, supportive and encouraging teacher and she chooses a variety of activities, exercises, song and reading to make her lessons lively and interesting in order to help her students progress.”
“Bria has been my teacher for four years now in person and, throughout the pandemic, on Zoom. I started with no knowledge of Gaelic, but she has taught, encouraged, enthused and supported me so well that I will sit the Advanced Higher Gaelic exam next spring. Tapadh leat.”
