As the National Folk Theatre of Ireland, Siamsa Tíre has always devoted itself to sharing and sustaining tradition, passing it on from one generation to the next. Youngsters from all over Kerry have excelled at its Folk Training Academy, led by this generation’s masters of tradition. Now, you can be part of that tradition. Classes are being offered world-wide, to people everywhere, no matter what their age or levels of experience.&nbsp;
In-person classes will go ahead at the theatre in Tralee for adults and children. Online classes for all age groups will be available on demand so anyone with an interest in traditional Irish music, song or dance can learn at a time and place that suits them. Classess will be headed up by four of Siamsa Tíre’s professional performers.&nbsp;

Siamsa Tíre’s Musical Director, Tom Hanafin, a multi-talented musician and composer, will teach music and Joanne Barry, Siamsa's Repertory Director, and Choral Director Martina Ryan Murphy, will teach you how to sing.
