You Can Teach Yourself Tinwhistle

"By Mizzy McCaskill & Dona Gilliam. Beginners of all ages will enjoy learning to play tinwhistle with the step-by-step method found in this book. Familiar folk melodies abound in this comprehensive collection of easy-to-play literature. Carefully sequenced tunes and exercises teach the player to read music notation, and a section is included on Irish ornamentation. Several Irish tunes containing suggested ornamentation present the traditional Irish style of whistle playing. Because of the ease of learning the tinwhistle (also called the pennywhistle) many Irish musicians begin their musical training on the whistle before switching to the flute or uillean pipes. Written for the D tinwhistle."McCaskill, Mizzy is the author of 'You Can Teach Yourself Tinwhistle', published 1999 under ISBN 9780786648962 and ISBN 0786648961.
