This is a comprehensive, detailed approach to playing Irish music on the tinwhistle. It contains information on technique and style that more advanced players will also find useful. There are over 70 dance tunes and airs suitably arranged for the tinwhistle, including some recently-composed pieces and several unusual settings of old standards. This edition also includes a CD of Mr. McCullough expertly playing all the exercises, musical examples, and tunes contained in this book.
