Book Reviews of The Clarke Tin Whistle: Deluxe Edition (Book & CD)
Book Review: A great book for beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
This excellent book begins by explaining musical notation, for the student who doesn't already read music, but that doesn't get in they way for those of us who already do. The CD follows the text step by step, including dozens of tunes, so you can actually hear the sounds that can come out of a tinwhistle in the hands of an expert. Something to aspire to!
The CD has 91 tracks, not as easy to navigate as when it was on cassette tape -- you can't just stop at #51, and resume the tape at #52 the next day. . .
If you do buy this book, when you get to the paragraph on "balance finger," note that whereas Ochs recommends R3, the ring finger of the right hand, I find that R1, the index finger of the right hand, works better for me, because the R1 hole is directly above the right thumb. When you've learned to play an eight-note scale, try playing it with R1 covered for the notes B and C#. This can simply be incorporated in the fingerings for these notes where you find the need to use it. When playing either of these two notes, you may also find times when leaving R1, R2 and R3 all covered will facilitate rapid fingering. Don't try to understand what all this means now -- just remember I mentioned it, when you get to the stage where you will want to try it. With a little practice, it will become natural to you. Good luck!
