Description
Use of the simple but beautiful six-hole penny whistle, also called an Irish whistle or tin whistle, began in the early nineteenth century. Learn how to play scales and tunes through demonstration, listening, and reading music or whistle fingering, along with basic techniques and embellishments that give the instrument its distinctive “Irish” sound. No musical experience required. Printed materials provided. Buy an $18 whistle on-site at the first class (cash or card), or bring your own whistle (required key of D).
Multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Scott Reeder teaches hammered dulcimer, bowed psaltery, guitar, electric bass, Baroque recorder, Irish tin whistle, instrument amplification, and sound system design and operation. He and his wife’s albums have listeners in 108 countries on six continents.
