Teach yourself the tin whistle with this easy-to-use instruction kit that includes a genuine Clarke tin whistle (handmade in England since 1843), a 74-minute CD, and an 80-page handbook for players of all levels.

No previous musical training is necessary. Using tablature based on the first seven letters of the alphabet, the complete beginner can learn to play a simple tune in a matter of minutes. Then, through a specially selected series of folk tunes, beginners are guided through all the basics of playing one step at a time.

Intermediate players will enjoy exploring the book's outstanding selection of traditional music from Ireland, England, Scotland and early America. There are 83 pieces in all -- jigs, reels, hornpipes, highland flings, fife tunes, morris dances, slow airs and lots more. Each tune is played on the CD to facilitate learning.

The book also includes a tin whistle ornamentation tutorial for advanced players, as well as extensive historical notes. The text is illustrated throughout with Victorian woodcut engravings. Recommended for ages 8 to adult.
