Spring Whistle Classes (Under 12)
The whistle classes will be the entry point for younger children into Irish music. Children who haven’t completed a whistle class will be in whistle I, which will be divided into sections based on enrollment, and students who have completed Whistle I will be enrolled in whistle II.
It will focus on the fundamentals of the tin whistle as a first step towards understanding the music, and as a gateway to continuing on the whistle or with a second instrument. They will learn tone production, scales, and basic tunes until they are ready to graduate to the performance class. Once a student is ready to progress past the whistle class, it is recommended that they be paired with a private instructor for the instrument that they would like to continue on, whether that is the whistle or one of the other instruments common is Irish traditional music.
Classes will take place at St. Luke’s Church on the Avenue at 800 W 36th St.
Enrollment at BIMS is contingent upon agreement with the academy terms and conditions.
