(Music Sales America). Perhaps the most challenging thing to master when learning to play traditional Irish music is the ability to play "in sync" with other musicians. This book gives you the chance to do exactly that. It is a collection of 125 tunes you're liable to hear at most traditional Irish music sessions, and comes with four CDs with simple practice versions and more embellished performance versions of each tune.

This book is a comprehensive, detailed approach to playing Irish music on the tinwhistle. It has been written especially for new enthusiasts who live impossibly far from Irish musicians and are fretfully asking themselves, “Where Can I Ever Learn To Play?” It contains information on technique and style that more advanced players will also find useful. And, there are 72 dance tunes and airs suitably arranged for the tinwhistle, including some recently-composed pieces and several unusual settings of old standards that even the most jaded musical palates aflame with the insatiable desire for New Tunes will find exhilarating and momentarily satisfying.
