Irish Whistle
by Tim Hart
One of Ireland's oldest instruments, the whistle
is a perennial voice in traditional music. Join Tim Hart for an exploration
of the history, mechanics and sounds of this deceptively simple instrument,
from traditional, high "pennywhistles" to midrange alto/baritone
sounds and the haunting low whistle. Take-home materials will be provided
on scales and modes in Irish music, along with notes on common ornamental
techniques. A promotional recording of Tim's original whistle compositions
will also be available.
