Music is a choice subject at Leaving Cert students in St. Dominic’s. Students who choose to study music learn about a wide range of musical genres, how to read and write music, different elements of music technology and performance is also a very important component of each course. The practical exam is worth 50% at Leaving Cert level.
There is also a great tradition of extra curricular activities relating to music in the school. We have a choir who take part in the Diocesan Emmanuel concert every year, where we have been very successful achieving many solos over the years. Guitar, Violins, Voice and Piano lessons also take place in the school. Every year Transition Year students also put up on a variety show of music and dance.
Music is wonderful for encouraging and promoting self-confidence in our students, and is an enjoyable subject to study.
