Un kilometre a pied
Nous n'irons plus au bois
Ne pleure pas, Jeannette
Il etait un petit navire
Malbrough s'en va t-en guerre
The tin whistle (sometimes called pennywhistleor simply whistle) is a small 6-holed flute, that in its present form dates from the 19 th century. Because of its affordable price and ease of use it is the most common folk instrument in Ireland, and is often the instrument of choice for beginners and children.
The tunes in this book, and in the other books of the collection, were chosen and arranged to allow even an absolute beginner to start playing straight away, without any technical knowledge of sheet music or musical theory. Fingering tablatures are provided with every tune; an accompanying audio CD of the tunes in the book is also available, and is even recommended to favour learning by ear.
