Introduction<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

The YMI team have produced some resources about the Scottish poet Robert Burns, who wrote some of our most well known songs and poems. \u00a0He is remembered every year on the 25th January when people around the world celebrate his works on ‘Burns’ night. \u00a0His most famous work \u2018Auld Lang Syne\u2019 is traditionally sung at midnight around the world when the New Year begins. Burns grew up and lived in Aryshire and was just 37 years old when he died. He wrote a lot of poems in Scots, such as the lovely To a Mouse.<\/p>\n

You can listen to the tutors sing some of his songs, sing along yourself and learn to play them on your iPad . We have added a few of the songs into in this post. and for teachers\u00a0 who can access our GLOW site we have several others you can explore.<\/p>\n
