We're a few days apart from the 17th of March, when Ireland celebrates their National Day and Saint Patrick's Day. You can learn more about the history and traditions related to this day clicking on the following link. We can approach the cultural elements of this celebration from the music and arts education in order to learn about other traditions and appreciate the artistic aspects of other countries.

But if what you're looking for is traditional Irish music to dance in the music class, the best is to search "jigs" and "reels" which are typical dancing forms. This is my favorite, included in the movie Titanic: John Ryan's Polka
If you need celtic music to play with the school musical instruments, I recommend you the song O son do ar. Here's the music sheet for recorder or Orff musical instruments.
