Mally's Traditional Music Store

TRADITIONAL IRISH TIN WHISTLE TUTOR consists of two sections. A tuition section and a section of 100 tunes. The tunes section can be purchased separately in the form of THE GREEN BOOK. The DEMO CD contains the tunes in the tuition section and the TUNES DOUBLE CD contain the full 100 tunes from the tunes section. This, of course, also accompanies THE GREEN BOOK.

Geraldine Cotter, herself an outstanding performer and teacher of the Irish Tin Whistle has set out to produce a truly complete tutor, incorporating all important aspects of the instrument. The obvious advantage of the book and record combination becomes clear when many otherwise difficult
techniques can be heard, played at a lower speed at first, so that the student can keep up with the record and soon will develop sufficient skill to play the piece at actual speed. Geraldine's own research has brought her into the homes of many of the legendary Irish whistle players such as Micho Russell and many others. T- he is guided through all forms of traditional music with its typical variations, ornaments etc. An appendix of no less than 100 tunes, consisting of jigs, Reels, Hornpipes, Set Dances, Slow Airs & other. pieces will give the user an important first source of repertoire, while these same tunes will be welcomed by already accomplished players as many are here in print for the first time and others are unusual versions.

A tin whistle in 'D tuning 'is the required instrument to be used with this tutor.
