Bill has spent many, many years actually teaching hundreds of students, so he really understands how to communicate instruction effectively. Some other introductory books are written by people who may be great players but don't have a lot of real-time experience teaching, so they can get you in over your head. Have fun! Margaret |

If you are just starting out I would recommend getting a whistle in the key of "D" and if you plan on using the pennywhistle notation stick to tunes in the key of "D". Cap't Bob |
