Other Training Courses
This page provides information on courses other than the annual Summer School which are run by the ICMA, from time to time, around the country.
There are also links to courses run by other organisations that may be of interest to ICMA members, musicians and liturgists.
ICMA Courses
At the moment there are no other training courses currently being planned by the ICMA. Courses will be advertised on the Welcome page as and when they are available.
National Centre for Liturgy
The National Centre for Liturgy, based at St Patrick's College in Maynooth, offers two one-year courses: a Diploma in Pastoral Liturgy and a Higher Diploma in Pastoral Liturgy.
In association with the Faculty of Theology of the Pontifical University, the Centre runs a Master's Degree in Theology with specialisation in Liturgy.
In association with the Department of Music, NUI Maynooth, there is also a Diploma in Church Music.
More details are available on the Centre's website.
Church Music Committee, Church of Ireland
The Dublin and Glendalough Diocesan Church Music Committee offers a number of courses during the year.
The three-year part-time Archbishop's Certificate in Church Music, run since 1991, aims to provide the range of skills and knowledge required by musicians working in local churches: (i) organ playing, including service accompaniment; (ii) choir training and rehearsal techniques; (iii) the structure of the Church's liturgy and the role of music in it.
Other shorter courses, such as Living Worship 2007, and evening workshops for Cantors and Choir Trainers are also available.
More details are available on the Committee's website.
Dublin Diocesan Resource Centre
The Dublin Diocesan Resource Centre runs workshops and seminars on an occasional basis but provides information on other courses that may be of interest.
The Centre also publishes a Newsletter that may be downloaded from their website.
