You won't really learn much about how to read music and the tunes are limited. It will show you how to hold the whistle and blow correctly. It has a finger chart below each note so you can see exactly where to put your fingers without reading music.

Lots of fun. I was playing quickly, but I have some musical experience. The CD does help to learn the songs. All of the songs are simple and easy, but without any words. The wistle is well made for a tin wistle.

2.0 out of 5 stars Imporoper teaching methods, May 17, 2008

This DOES NOT teach proper methods for learning the whistle. You don't tongue the whistle like you do western instruments, it is for emphasis only. The songs in the book are not traditional. The whistle is only ok for someone beginning. The coating peels off in a messy way. I spent more and bought at proper book and a better flute. It's worth it in the end.
