Check out Ryan’s video blog! “In order to help organize my videos for the course I teach at Fordham University – ‘Introduction to the Irish Tin Whistle’ – I have decided to put the videos on a blog. Feel free to follow from home – all you need is a tin whistle in the Key of D, an open mind, and a desire to find your voice in the tradition of Irish music.”
