An introduction and a question

Whistle
1

Hi y’all, I’m Navah, and I’m new here. I bought myself a tin whistle about a year and a half ago, and I’ve been messing around with it ever since - I can play slow stuff, ballads and things, but am not quite ready to play jigs and reels and all the really good stuff :slight_smile:. I’m hoping to take lessons some time in the near future. And while I aim to get used to learning music by ear, I grew up in the Suzuki music system, which has a strong emphasis on sheet music.

My question is thus. I was wandering around this board a few days ago, reading some of the posts, and I found some links to some really excellent websites that had jigs and reels and things - the complete music file as well as the sheet music for those songs. It was a really great website, and while I could have sworn I bookmarked it, I can no longer find it. I’ve tried to find it in these posts, but to no avail.

So - does anybody know of the website I’m referring to, or others like it?

Thanks!

Navah

All of these look like excellent sites, but the one I had in mind was the one Darwin posted. Thanks!

Maybe you could search for posts by Darwin. If it wasn’t too old you wouldn’t have to wade through too much.
