Irish Langauge Songs For Children And Beginners To Learn
If you’re just starting out in either Irish or singing, learning children’s songs is a fantastic way to begin. They’re typically slower-paced with clearer lyrics, making them perfect for beginners.
One of my top picks for children’s song resources is My Irish Books. Their interactive sound books feature beloved traditional Irish songs and rhymes, providing an excellent sing-along experience for kids. They are my sons favourite also.
Additionally, you’ll find a variety of children’s songbooks, some even come with CDs, over at the Kids Songbooks section at An Siopa Leabhar.
There are also a large number of children’s song books available to buy. Some come with a CD of the songs included. Visit the Kids songbooks section at An Siopa Leabhar.
For a fun and engaging option, check out the fantastic playlist of children’s songs by Karaoke Na Gaeilge on YouTube. It’s packed with catchy tunes to kickstart your learning journey. Give it a listen and start singing along today!

With over 400 videos to choose from, you can pick your favorite or try something new and start singing along.
For those seeking formal singing lessons in the Irish language, the Online Academy of Irish Music offers a structured approach. Songs are arranged from easy to difficult, allowing learners to progress gradually. Each song comes with background information and is broken down phrase by phrase, with a strong emphasis on pronunciation. Expert guidance on melody, ornamentation, phrasing, breathing, and other singing techniques is also provided.
Learning language through songs is not only educational but also enjoyable. With its myriad benefits, including vocabulary expansion, pronunciation practice, and cultural insight, it’s a fun and effective way to enhance your language skills.
