Unleash your Rhythm in 2025

Written By Robbie Walsh

Are you ready to embrace the heartbeat of Irish culture and music? The Bodhrán Buzz offers an array of opportunities to learn and experience the magic of this iconic Irish drum. Whether you’re looking for an exciting team-building activity, a school workshop, or private lessons with an All-Ireland champion, The Bodhrán Buzz has something to offer everyone.


Why Learn the Bodhrán?

For centuries, drums have connected people across cultures, languages, and distances. The bodhrán, with its rhythmic pulse, is a powerful tool for breaking down barriers, fostering communication, and building bonds. At The Bodhrán Buzz, we use this ancient drum to inspire creativity, promote teamwork, and inject energy into every event we host.


Corporate Workshops: Energise Your Team

Our corporate bodhrán workshops are designed to bring your team together through rhythm and fun. These workshops can:

  • Enhance teamwork and collaboration

  • Improve communication and listening skills

  • Build leadership capabilities

Perfect for team-building exercises, ice-breakers, or conference intermissions, our workshops deliver a memorable and impactful experience. Whether it’s a 2-hour session or a full-day event, we tailor each workshop to meet your organisation’s specific needs. As one satisfied client put it:

"Robbie delivered a highly interactive, energetic and educational event. His passion and connection with the group were outstanding." — Barry Murphy, Head of Learning & Development, ServiceSource



Workshops for Schools: Inspire the Next Generation

Our Little Buzzer and Big Buzzer workshops bring music, culture, and fun to primary and secondary schools across Ireland. These sessions are carefully crafted to align with the school curriculum, covering three key strands of music education:

  • Listening & Responding: Children learn the importance of attentive listening through interactive games.

  • Performing: From group performances to solo opportunities, children gain confidence and develop perseverance.

  • Composition: Pupils create their own rhythms, combining them to produce a unique piece of music.

In addition to one-off workshops, we offer full-term courses tailored to schools’ schedules, providing an in-depth exploration of the bodhrán’s history, techniques, and performance skills. As Helen Kelly, Principal of St. Patrick’s Boys’ National School, shared:

"Robbie pitched the workshop perfectly. By the end, the boys were sounding good, and the experience left a lasting impression."



Private Lessons: Master the Art of Bodhrán Playing

For those who prefer individual attention, The Bodhrán Buzz offers private lessons with Robbie Walsh, an All-Ireland Bodhrán Champion. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced player, these 30-minute sessions via Zoom provide personalised guidance to enhance your skills and eliminate bad habits. Robbie’s expertise ensures you’ll make progress while enjoying the process.
