compiled by Fintan Vallely

the wooden "simple-system" six-hole flute. Since the fingering on the

those who
wish to learn the whistle with the intention of later taking up the
flute.

While the
wooden simple-system flute is
traditionally used in playing Irish music, a growing number of folk
players have adopted the silver flute as a viable alternative. Here for
the first time, The Complete Irish Flute Book presents the silver or
Boehm flutist with a method for learning authentic Irish ornamentation
on the instrument they already play!
This thorough guides provides fingering charts, exercises, and
technical essays on how to do ornamentation Irish style. Featuring
hornpipes, reels, jigs, set dances, and slow airs
and songs this book focuses not only on musical accuracy but stylistic
authenticity as well.

This comprehensive method includes:
extensive
historical notes, a comparison of hand and finger positions for wooden
and silver flutes, embouchure and breath support in the folk and
classical traditions, plus an introduction to dance music, performance
practice, and ornamentation used by traditional players. These include
slides, cuts or tips (single grace notes from above or
below respectively), double and triple grace notes, and short and long
rolls. The material is sequentially presented along with
alternate fingering charts to facilitate correct performance practice.
Includes unornamented "standard" tunes side-by-side with ornamented
variants
Although a majority of the tunes in
this book can be played by Irish simple-system flutists, players of
keyless or
multiple-keyed wooden flutes will find a more compatible approach for
learning to play in the Irish style in the Complete Irish Tin
Whistle Book.
Why? Whistle fingerings closely parallel fingerings for simple-system
flutes. Also, the selection of repertoire in the whistle book
is confined to the keys of D, G and A- all traditional keys for
traditional flute players.
