(Waltons Irish Music Books). This practical introduction to the bodhran differs from the average instruction book in several ways. First, it offers several methods of playing, each of them handed down in regional styles throughout Ireland. It also includes a commentary on contemporary developments in performance technique. An original system of notating bodhran beats is introduced. The idea of "random play" is used to allow the learner to uncover the skill rather than grapple with it. The material in this book will be if invaluable assistance to any aspiring player of the instrument and to everyone interested in traditional Irish music.

The Dance Music of Ireland: O'Neill's 1001

(Waltons Irish Music Books). For beginners and learners on the wooden, simple-system flutes, this instruction book is designed for self-teaching of the wooden "simple-system" six-hole flute. The fingering applies to all such flutes whether the standard "concert" flute in the key of D of the more widely-available fife or band flute. Since the fingering on the tin whistle is the same as that on these flutes, the book is particularly suited to those who wish to learn the whistle with a view to later taking up the flute.
