Carrig National School, Nenagh, Co. Tipperary

'A Clap, a Hop, a Skip and a Jump!' performed by the Carrig National School Music Group. Primary Finalist in the 2024 Waltons RTÉ lyric fm Music for Schools Competition. The group deliberately included children of mixed abilities. They met every Wednesday at lunchtime and initially approached their entry with a lot of discussion about the theme. Their teacher began by asking the group to think about how music makes them move and to notice how music makes people react around them, whether it be in the car listening to the radio or in school taking part in music in the classroom. The students talked about how music can make you move in the slightest way, how your body reacts to the rhythm of the music and how it has different reactions to fast songs than to slower or more melancholic pieces. As the discussion progressed, one child pointed out that music can also move you to tears, as a feeling. They also spoke about how they could use our bodies as percussion, getting and establishing a beat by clapping or stamping their feet or even beating their chests. Over the following few weeks, the students suggested a number of different songs and pieces that could express different aspects of the theme. For example, when the student talked about music moving you emotionally, other students remembered singing 'Can't Help Falling in Love' for a teacher's wedding, which moved her to tears. So the song was included.
