Today we learn how to play new note E We practice some exercises moving from G to E and we play the song Engine Engine No 9. What happens to the tempo towards the end of the tune.? Have a listen to some great tin whistle playing by a member of An Garda Síochána last week. The tune is a jig - six quaver beats in a bar. 6/8 Happy practising.
