One Killarney lady plans to use her talents to bring music, song and joy into people’s homes.
Soprano Mary Culloty O’Sullivan, says that with all the loneliness and isolation due to COVID-19 she wanted to play her part to bring joy into people’s lives.
So she has moved her vocal classes online for anyone to follow which will include simple fun vocal exercises and songs that everyone knows.
“My choir and my singing groups are missing me and the weekly singing classes so I was asked to post vocal exercises on Facebook,” Mary told the Killarney Advertiser this week.
“I thought why don’t I post up songs also, so I put it up on FB to see if people would be interested and it has been amazing. People are really looking forward to it!
She began with a class ‘Red is the Rose’ on Wednesday last, and plans ‘You Raise me Up’ today (Wednesday), followed by ‘My Favourite Things’ the following Wednesday, April 22.
“On April 29 at 3pm I will be going live with the vocal exercises and roof- lifting version of ‘Ireland’s Call’. Let’s get everyone singing! I hope people will make this part of their day either standing up or sitting down.”
