      If you can play an instrument, you can always make money. It's a good life skill. I'm a busker myself, sometimes you don't make much, but ALWAYS enough to survive!

      I would imagine Donnell Lahey mighta had a wee bit to do with teaching them to play and dance given who he and his family are. Both sides of those childrens family are East Coast Celtic Royalty

    I've never commented on a uTube video before but this is one I cannot 'not' comment on. Possibly the best thing I've ever seen. St Anne's Reel will never sound the same again.
    Smile on my face,catch in my throat and clapping along to the very end.
    What a gift to the children.
    Well done Mum and Dad.

    Just adorable, what a remarkable woman + mother. So much talent as she plays herself yet also teaches her children violin playing and Irish dancing. To co-ordinate the string instruments and then the dancing would take hours n hours of dedication by all of them. The children are gorgeous too

    This is wonderful. I get to see this kind of playing every summer at the local fiddle festivals, even doing the same songs. Really young kids getting up and playing away on the fiddle. And you get to watch them improve as they grow up. It's also fun to compete yourself if you play a stringed instrument.

    Oh my, how I miss seeing the young people play like this and do the Beautiful Irish Dancing as well. I have 5 Grandsons and the second oldest is the only one interested in the music. He plays Trumpet, this is his first year but he loves it and when you love what you are doing, you will grow at it better and better. These students shown here are a sign of a wonderful future ahead and that OUR IRISH CRAFT WILL NOT END BUT WILL THRIVE IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE OF TEACHERS LIKE NATALIE! Great job Natalie!!!

    • @onlinemusiclessonsadamphil4677
      @onlinemusiclessonsadamphil4677 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It’s brilliant :-)) I think this is more Scottish step dancing that we’re taught in Scotland where the arms are freer and there’s more a tap as opposed to legs going up. Celtic crossover I guess.

    • @kpzcbttp
      @kpzcbttp 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, it certainly is Scottish as my Auntie Margaret could do it, the origins of Irish dancing started off using the Scottish style and it progressed into the Irish dance you see now.
