I want to start again to play the Penny Whistle.
I did play a year, many years ago, but now i have forgotten nearly all i learned.
I have to refresh what i did know and than of course i want to learn more and more ...
I did use the Clarke Book from Bill Ochs but i cant find it anymore , but it is somewhere and i dont want to buy it again
So i want to get a Book From Grey Larsen as a learning source this time.
But wich one should i choose?
The Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle
or
The Essential Tin Whistle Toolbox
Here https://greylarsen.com/webstore/books/#differences i found some information
First one is three times as large.
Its about Irish flute and tin whistle.
Do i want to play Flute? Not now, maybe much later.
The second one is about Whistle only,... enough for me now
One + for both
Thats cool, isnt it?The Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle
covers ornamentation exhaustively and includes 49 exercises for practicing ornamentation.
Hmmm, so the other one is the right one for me?The Essential Tin Whistle Toolbox covers ... not the more advanced ornamentation.
+ 1 for the first one - its 2:1 now
Ok do i need it? Why not its maybe interestingThe Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle is far more than an instructional book.
So far so good i take the Big one 3:1
BUT
Does this mean, its more or less or the same much about playing than the big one?The Essential Tin Whistle Toolbox focuses more narrowly on playing.
So untill now the Flute and Whistle book had more content but now the whistle only book has something the otrher onde dont have, right?While The Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle contains quite a bit of material for beginning flute and whistle players, The Essential Tin Whistle Toolbox expands this material for the beginning whistler, with an additional chapter, “Getting Comfortable with Fingering”, and more beginner’s exercises.
Sounds usefull but is it? I AM comfortable with fingering and i am not a complete beginner anymore, so i think i get the Bigger Book.
What would you, if you know those books recomend for a little advanced beginner who want to start again?
Help is apreciated
