42 of the finest old Irish dance tunes, song airs and O'Carolan pieces are presented in this book in easy settings and traditional keys (D, G and A). Though the music in this collection is best suited to the tinwhistle, it is arranged as a melody line making it appropriate for beginners playing almost any traditional instrument. This book wonderfully compliments Tom Maguire's Instruction book (HL14016259), providing companion repertoire for an improving and progressing musician. An accompanying CD is available that demonstrates all the songs included in the book.
