Hi there!
I tried posting to the forum last night, but I think I might have just previewed my post, and considered it a done deal. Having already written this post once, I think this version of it might lose a little bit of the verve of the last one. Sorry about that!
As far as introductions go, I’m an eighteen year old male, living in Ontario. I’ve had virtually no formal music training, and now that I’ve been shoved off to university, I figure I might as well start taking this musical impotence seriously, and pick up an instrument.
I’ve bought myself a couple toys, but most relevantly I have an Oak whistle in D, and Bill Och’s beginner tinwhistle book. I kind of feel like buying the book was not really a waste of money, but so far it seems like I’ve been able to find all the information in it online. Granted, I haven’t delved too deep. The CD that comes with the book is a godsend though, so for that I am very grateful.
I’ve been thinking about working my way though some of the many online resources about the pennywhistle, and making video progress reports of myself as I go along. I could post the videos to YouTube or Google Video. If anyone is interested in watching me, and maybe giving me a bit of criticism and guidance, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
