This video DVD course is designed for beginners
with little or no previous experience with
pennywhistle playing. No music reading ability is
required. A pennywhistle or “tin whistle” are
different names for the same instrument, and one
in the “key of D” is required for this course.
Ryan patiently teaches a basic scale and several
celtic tunes, including a waltz, hornpipe, reel,
march, and polka. The basics of fingering and
breathing are carefully explained and
demonstrated. Tunes are played very slowly and
also up to performance speed.
