Tin Whistle - A Complete Guide to Playing Irish Traditional Music on the Whistle (Paperback)

BOOK ONLY (Audio CD available to buy on author's website). Learn to play Irish traditional music on the whistle with this tutor book from Tradschool 104 tunes (28 children's & folk songs + 76 traditional Irish tunes)
This book gives a complete introduction to playing Irish music in the traditional style on the tin whistle; it covers all from the very first notes on the instrument to the most advanced ornamentation.
The course is broadly divided into two parts, with the shorter first part covering the basics of the whistle while the longer second part (pages 49-296) covers the playing of Irish traditional music on the instrument.
It is intended for anybody who wants to play traditional music in the Irish style, from complete beginners to confirmed or advanced players who wish to work on their style or ornamentation. Tablature as well as sheet music is used throughout the book, so it is accessible to the complete beginner; while more advanced players will appreciate the attention to detail in style and ornamentation in the later parts of the book.
