Low whistle — the sound
behind the film scores

The low whistle's rich, haunting tone has made it one of the most sought-after sounds in Irish traditional and film music. Grace Galligan teaches low whistle from beginner through advanced level, building on the ornamentation and breath-control foundations she teaches on tin whistle and Irish flute.

Lessons draw on Grace's training at the Royal Irish Academy of Music and her ongoing performance career, giving students a genuinely traditional foundation rather than just note accuracy.

Who this is for
Existing tin whistle or flute players expanding their range, and complete beginners drawn to the instrument's distinctive sound.
