The complete irish tinwhistle tutor |
This book assumes a basic reading knowledge of standard Western music notation in the treble clef, and a few introductory remarks about Irish music have been included for those coming to the music anew. Readers unfamiliar with musical notation should not feel that they are irremediably beyond hope. It!s not hard to learn, and it's a proven method of musical shorthand that helps the learning process to a high degree. Contrary to popular misconception, most Irish musicians know how to read and write music, and they aren't any the less traditional or authentic because of it.
