Hi all,

I'm sure this question has been asked a thousand times, but I'm asking again because I can't seem to find it with the search function. What are some good websites with digital recordings of the whistle parts of popular trad tunes? Is there an online library or YouTube channel to check out?

Thanks!!

Hi Sara. Try these:

• Shannon Heaton's Tune of the Month Tutorials
  Podcast versions: http://www.mattandshannonheaton.com/TOT ... ve&cat=all
  YouTube versions (PlayList): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBl7ELZ ... uRRuVeAjuC

• Sean Cunningham (aka WhistleTutor) Tutorials on YouTube. He also does Skype lessons.
  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbqD7l ... YWtyhRx8vg

I've found both of those to be great resources, and I think they're both reasonably "authentic" in their interpretation of trad Irish music (if that's a concern). Shannon is playing flute, not whistle, but it's easy to learn from a flute player and most of the ornamentation is the same. She does an especially good job of playing through the tune at speed, then slowly, then phrase-by-phrase.
