"Lyre, Lyre, Harps on Fire!"
An educational program about the harp
which was presented at the Miami Public Library.
IRISH EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
I have combined my love for the Celtic harp with my Irish heritage and interest in the culture of Ireland…the Emerald Isle! I have developed an Irish educational program geared toward elementary age children. I arrive in costume and integrate Irish music on my Celtic harp, with visual props and stories for a 45 minute fun-filled educational program.
Topics include St. Patrick (Maewyn Succat), Turlough O’Carolan (the blind harper 1670-1730), potato famine of 1845, Irish Wolfhounds, Celtic knot, Celtic cross, Irish coins, Blarney stone, Shamrock, Irish flag, Celtic harp, bodhran (Irish drum), geography of Ireland and more.
I provide my own sound system with cordless mic and need only one regular A/C outlet and a 30 minute set up period.
Please read feedback comments from my past performances at Picher Elementary school the Miami Public Library.
“We all really enjoyed the program and all the information about Ireland. Part of our grant requires us to provide fine arts enrichments and your program satisfied that need very well. I thought the program was excellent. You are a very accomplished musician and we enjoyed the soft and soothing sounds of the harp. "It was true "ear candy"! Your costume and all the visuals provided in-depth information and knowledge about Ireland and Celtic music. We will be glad to recommend you to other school districts. Keep up the good work and thank you so much for sharing your talent with our boys and girls.”
---Vicki Hoffman, Picher Cardin Elementary School
"The Miami Public Library has hosted several events featuring Tammy Willcox. The most popular and well-attended program she has offered is her St. Patrick’s Day program complete with Celtic harp, Irish drum, costume, and visuals. She held the audience of both children and adults enthralled while she told the story of St. Patrick. Over 70 people attended this program, and library staff received numerous comments on how much people enjoyed the program. We plan to have her back often!"
---Marcia Johnson, Director, Miami Public Library
