Tin Whistles for Music

Help me give my students the chance to begin basic music lessons using an Irish Tin Whistle which is similar to the recorder but an authentic instrument that students can see musicians play.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our scholars want to learn new and exciting things. They are open to new experiences from different cultures. I have played the Irish Tin Whistle since childhood. I have found it an easy basic instrument to introduce playing simple tunes like Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars and Hot Cross Buns. They will learn breathing techniques to create sound, read rhythm and musical notes. They will learn to play together as a group or excel as a soloist. It is light and easy to carry and use and it will prepare students for choosing upcoming band instruments.
