ISBN 9780786608539. Celtic/Irish. 8.5x11 inches.
This collection of 35 Celtic tunes represents ten different performance styles from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany. The majority of these pieces are dance tunes such as the jigs and reels popular at Irish sessions, the informal gatherings of musicians in pubs, community halls, and homes. Although relatively new to the session ensemble, the autoharp bears a distinct resemblance to the Irish folk harp. Fittingly, this collection includes harp tunes by famed Irish harpist Turlough O'Carolan as well as other slow airs. All of the pieces in this book have been arranged to be played on any standard 15 or 21-bar chromatic autoharp in either melodic or rhythmic (backup) style. A melody line with suggested chord accompaniment is included so other instrumentalists can easily join in. The book's companion CD includes performances of all 35 selections, ably illustrating the rhythmic and stylistic nuances of this engaging music. In notation and tablature.

Clarke Sweetone Tinwhistle - Key of D. For Tin Whistle. Misc. Product. Clarke Tinwhistle Co.. All Styles. Instrument. Published by Clarke Tinwhistle Co. (MB.98366IX).
ISBN 9780786647439. All Styles. 0.75x11 inches.
After over 150 years of continuous production of the famous Clarke PENNYWHISTLE, the Company has now produced a brand new type of tinwhistle, the SWEETONE. This is the first conical bore tinwhistle to have been made with a plastic mouthpiece - the combination of traditional workmanship with modern technology. Easy to play; with a clear and accurate tone and readily affordable. It is the ideal instrument leading naturally, later on to the more advanced original PENNYWHISTLE - the whistle of the professional player and the enthusiastic amateur. Strangely enough, it is those professional players and enthusiastic amateurs who are enjoying the SWEETONE - not as an alternative to Clarke's PENNYWHISTLE, but as an additional tinwhistle they can use for its contrasting tonal qualities - sweetness and delicacy as opposed to strength and robustness. The sound to match the mood of the tune being played. Clarke Tinwhistles do not contain lead. They all have the Standard U.S. ASTM F963-07 certificate of compliance.

ISBN 9780786600496. Old Time. 8.75x11.75 inches.

The instruction included here is meant to provide a review, and not to take the place of qualified teacher. Alec recommends that "...anyone wanting to get this playing right, should find someone in your area who plays and have him/her teach you. Listen to it, watch it, and make it your own." In Section Two, Lisa Schmits presents an extensive collection of 163 jigs, reels, polkas, hornpipes, strathspeys, waltzes, and songs from Ireland, Scotland, the Shetland Islands, Cape Breton, New England and Southern Appalachia for banjo solo.

The Complete Irish Fiddle Player by Peter Cooper. For Fiddle. Solos. Complete. Celtic/Irish. Multiple Levels. Book. 158 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.95406).
ISBN 9780786603299. Celtic/Irish. 8.75x11.75 inches.
In his preface, the author reminds the reader that this is not a book for the absolute beginner. Even the experienced player may not "get it" on first reading a given tune, but "You can expect to enjoy the process of learning... [and experience] the joy of recreating a traditional tune, of making it your own." This is the teacher/ student pact in effect throughout this marvelous book, written for the literary as much as the musical connoisseur. Although no classical violin experience is needed, you will need to know how to hold the fiddle and bow, and be able to play at least simple tunes in the first position. Having the ability to read music will enable you to follow the bowing patterns and left-hand techniques which the author feels are crucial in grasping the playing style.

ISBN 9780786647972. All Styles. 8.75x11.75 inches.
This encyclopedia is designed to provide mandolin players with a wide variety of chords in different voicings. This book is intended as both a starting point of learning chord voicings and patterns, as well as a dictionary of common mandolin chords. Each key section includes the first position scale for that key, as well as the chord formula and notes for each chord. If you want to learn to be a bluegrass rhythm player it helps to have a guide or 'map' to take you through the initial learning stage. This book provides a small but powerful set of starter chords used in this style of music. Once these chords are learned, you'll be able to jam with other musicians in no time. These are the same chords used by greats like Bill Monroe, Doyle Lawson, David Grisman and hundreds of other bluegrass players in this genre. While there are only a few chords presented in the "map" section, they form the foundation of bluegrass mandolin and with them you can play literally thousands of songs in every key. Chords are presented by key.
