Step One: Play Pennywhistle
42 Pages - By Peter Pickow
This very reasonably priced book and CD set was designed to help the
beginning and intermediate whistle player. It includes very detailed instruction for the
beginner, a fingering chart, many basics in reading music, as well as traditional
ornamentation (cuts, rolls, bends, etc). All the tunes in the beginning of the book have
fingerings printed above them, then as you progress the fingerings are only added when an
alternate fingering is required - guitar/piano chords are included for all tunes.
Each exercise and tune are also played on the CD. The whistle
comes out one speaker, and the guitar accompaniment comes out the other. This
allows you to play along with one or the other, or both, depending on how you set the
balance of your stereo (this is very helpful...).
Note:
Cover may differ from the image shown above. We sometimes ship
"Step One: Teach Yourself Pennywhistle" Book &CD instead of "Step One: Play
Pennywhistle" Book & CD. The only difference between the two is the cover - the
material contained in each is identical.
We highly recommend this book and CD set for
a beginning whistle player, or an intermediate player that wants to learn more about
ornamentation.
It is necessary to have a Whistle in the key of D (Low D or High D)
to make proper use of this book. All the tunes are written in D or G (plus one in
the key of A) - these keys are easily played with a D whistle.
Take a look at our Whistle Section if you don't own a D
Whistle.

It includes the same book and CD as this set (with a slightly different name), but
also includes a video!
