Abstract
Chapter 4 explores the introduction of Ronald Grimes’s ritual laboratory as a pedagogical tool in the teaching of a ritual song module within the context of a Master’s in Ritual Chant and Song at the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance. An examination of feedback and correspondence on the lab from students over the last decade and a half supports a view of the lab as a space of welcome, hospitality, and belonging. A central aspect of singing, explored in the lab, is its relationship with temporality. It suggests that it is the ability of music to collapse the clear boundaries between time and space that makes singing (particularly in ritual contexts) so successful in facilitating a sense of belonging.
