Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Cape Breton University/Music and Dance of the Gael (Fall)

This course introduces students to the music, song, and dance of the Gaels, for whom it forms an integral part of everyday life.

In this course, we will explore a range of Gaelic music, song, and dance, their defining characteristics in the present day and how they have developed through time, both separately and in tandem. We will study the impact of key historical events and social influences on these traditions, as well as the culturally significant features of these traditions as they exist today. We will develop the skills and capacity to learn more about them by developing research and analytical skills, and by engaging with resources (both print and digital) and by partaking in community-based experiences (in a community where Gaelic music and dance are a community cornerstone).

We will edit Wikipedia entries related to Scottish Gaelic music, song, and dance.
