Music has always played a very important part in the life of Slieverue National School, from the days of Mrs. Morrisseys Feile na Scoil classes and Scarlet Ribbons in the 1960's, right up to present 2005. All our pupils are given as many opportunities as possible to develop an interest and to enjoy music. From the 1980's to the 1990's , all senior classes took part in the National Childrens Choir in the National Concert Hall in Dublin and visited the Symphony Orchestra in WIT a number of times.

It is school policy that each child be given the opportunity to appear at least once on the stage of the Theatre Royal in Waterford in Feile na Scoileanna. This is an annual non-competitive festival of children performing on stage.

Our visiting teachers include
Mrs Mary O Connor and Niall O Connor (Piano,Trumpet and Tin Whistle) , Mrs. Betty Threadgold (Dancing)

This year , 30 children from the school travelled to the Point Theatre Dublin to perform in the Hallelujah Choir.

Children who have a special interest in singing are encouraged to join the Tuesday Choir which takes place after school each Tuesday. This choir is part of the Hallelujah Choir and entertains the patients in St. Patrick's Hospital at Christmas. We are very proud of our past pupils who have continued on with their music either in teaching or performing.
