A Music Index that are excerpts from the Leeds University site. When I first looked at this site, I had a very hard time loading the material, even with a 33.6 modem. Come to find out, the page has 180 k worth of material. Furthermore, some of the songs titles when accessed sent me to a totally different song. So, to make things easier for me and hopefully for you, I copied a section of the page and made things a bit more manageable by at least linking the correct title with it's intended song material.
Instruments Here are some tutorials on playing the fiddle.
He has an interesting page on abc language used in Irish and Gaelic music. There is another link that I found very interesting at this site and it is the tutor page . Even if you don't own a Celtic Drum, the techniques discussed here could perhaps be tried on one of the drums you might have in your classroom. Also, there is some wonderful history on the Bodhran as well as some very nice pictures. Not terribly informative since it is only a list of instrument makers in Ireland, but a nice list of native or common instruments used by the Irish.
