Overview
Kieran McCarthy Fell, Mondays, 7pm—8pm
6 weekly sessions beginning July 6
This class is for those who have taken Tin Whistle I: Introduction, but have never studied another instrument or need more practice to master the basics. This class will continue to focus on the whistle techniques of breathing, tonguing, and playing in both octaves. Additionally, students will work on strengthening their listening skills and picking up tunes by ear as we learn a number of traditional jigs, polkas, songs, and marches.
You will need to bring a key of D whistle to class.
