Description

Use of the simple, but beautiful, 6-hole penny whistle (Irish whistle/tin whistle) began in the early 19th century. Scott Reeder teaches you how to play scales and tunes through demonstration, listening, and reading music or whistle fingering. He also shares information about design and options to help you navigate the world of penny whistles. 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’).

Lifelong musician Scott Reeder performs professionally on many instruments and currently teaches hammered dulcimer, bowed psaltery, acoustic guitar, Irish penny whistle, and Baroque recorder, as well as instrument amplification and sound system design and operation.
