The Complete Ceol Tracks Learning Bundle

The Best Investment for Irish Music!

I finally bought the Complete Bundle after dabbling for years. It was worth every penny! Having both Session Books (1 and 2) together gives me a complete, structured path to session mastery. The consistency in the notation and the lay-flat binding across all books is brilliant. This bundle saved me money and hours of searching for reliable resources.

I've been playing trad music for decades but needed a reliable source for my repertoire. This bundle is perfect. The tunes are authentic, and the multiple notation formats (ABC and Staff) mean I can quickly scan and learn new melodies. It's truly a comprehensive and high-quality collection.

Whistle Improver’s Session Bundle

From Tutor to Session Master

A very well-chosen bundle. It provides a clear, seamless route from foundational knowledge to session-ready repertoire. I would have liked perhaps one or two more advanced ornamentation examples, but overall, the quality of the tunes and the clarity of the layout warrant a high rating. Excellent resource!

Primary Tin Whistle

Perfect for Adult Learners

As an older learner, I needed a method that respected my time and didn't feel patronizing. This tutor is structured, clear, and efficient. I particularly appreciate the detailed section on simple ornamentation. It's a professional, high-quality guide that has me playing short tunes within a few weeks.

Whistle Improver’s Session Bundle

Improved My Ornamentation Instantly

Fantastic pairing of books. I needed help moving past simple melodies, and the specific whistle instruction combined with the actual session repertoire was the perfect push. The finger charts are invaluable for quickly checking the more unusual notes. Great organization and highly recommended for improvers.

Tin Whistle & Session Starter Bundle

The Only Way to Start the Whistle

This bundle gives you the best of both worlds: the Primary Tutor gets your technique solid, and Session Book 1 immediately gives you essential repertoire. It’s a very logical, well-thought-out combination. I was playing my first few simple session tunes confidently within two months! Five stars.

Irish Traditional Session Music, Book 2

Challenging and Rewarding

A solid collection of intermediate tunes. I appreciate the variety, though a few tunes were outside my comfort zone initially—which is a good thing! The chords are well-placed, and the finger charts are still a handy quick reference. A very high-quality follow-up to Book 1.

Irish Traditional Session Music, Book 2

The Next Level Repertoire Builder

After mastering Book 1, this was the perfect progression. The tunes here are more complex and beautifully arranged. It’s definitely helped me move from just keeping up to actually leading a few sets. The continued clarity of the notation makes tackling the slightly trickier melodies much easier.

The Session Musician’s Bundle (Books 1 & 2)

Essential for Any Session Player

Five stars! The most valuable thing about having both books together is the range of difficulty. I used Book 1 to master the basics and am now working through the rewarding challenges in Book 2. It's the highest quality session resource available on the market, hands down.
