Overview
Kieran McCarthy Fell, Mondays, 6pm—7pm
8 weekly sessions beginning Monday, January 27, 2020
The whistle has been played in Ireland for more than a thousand years. It is small, inexpensive, and easy to bring along to any gathering. In this introductory course, we will learn the different notes and how to produce a good sound. Once students have mastered the basics, we’ll work on some traditional songs, including marches, waltzes, polkas, and jigs. Bring a key of D whistle, or purchase one in class for $10.
This class requires an instrument. For information about instrument rentals and purchases, click here.
