how can you manage all of that people?
How can you understand who's doing good and who is doing bad?
What the hell!

I have very good ears! I watch very carefully and I make them play over and over again....so it doesn't take me long to ascertain their levels.
Brother Ryan -
Thanks so much for making these lessons available. I recently picked up the tinwhistle after suffering some painful wrist problems caused by not realizing I'm too old to play a contact football game. I bought myself an Irish Bouzouki for Christmas, and now I can't even play it without pain ... :-(
I look forward to seeing more stuff from you. I especially would like to hear you play all of the songs you have shown here (e.g. Rattling Bog, The Foggy Dew) if you get a chance some time.
I went to Fordham years ago and would have loved this class! I'm enjoying your online lessons very much indeed!
Dear Brother Ryan
How I enjoyed you post on your December blog. I taught penny whistle and recorder in Michigan for 25 years in our public schools. The younger children ages 6 and up loved the concept of all the different colors and styles they could pick from every day then came music. I just pray to God that my time with them gave them the wings to fly a little higher with a little more interest in life.
We started just after Christmas with the first graders it was a task to say the least with 970 students. If they are learning to read in the first grade then they can start to learn music in the first grade. I just ordered a low whistle and can't wait to start it. I hope that God gives you the calmness and drive to finish his work. Music is the piller that supports our lives, it is the thread that binds the body to the soul and we sure need more web sites like this. My God and the Blessid Virgin Mary bless you for what you do. From one music teacher to another. Jim Forbes
Hello Ryan
Loved the video. I've been playing just about a month now.
What is the name of this tune. I would love to learn it!
