This first lesson is designed for beginners with little or no previous experience with pennywhistle playing. No music reading ability is required. A pennywhistle or "tin whistle" are different names for the same instrument, and one in the "key of D" is included at no extra charge. Ryan patiently teaches a basic scale and several celtic tunes, including a waltz, hornpipe, reel, march, and polka. The basics of fingering and breathing are carefully explained and demonstrated. Tunes are played very slowly and also up to speed. 38 minutes.
