Tin Whistles are available from the Club and cost £3. Beginner and Junior Classes are taught using Club Tutor books which have accompanying CDs or cassettes. These cost £5. Intermediate and Senior students are taught by ear and should bring along some form of recorder to class. Advice on instrument purchase can be obtained from Club officials and tutors. It is important to buy the best instrument you can afford, as it is impossible to play good music on bad instruments. Small children need half or three-quarter size fiddles - check with the fiddle teacher before you buy one. You should also have valuable instruments insured.

Instrument loans Pupils are expected to provide their own instruments. The Club has a small stock of instruments which we lend to existing pupils who have been recommended by their tutors. These instruments will be loaned for a maximum of two years, during which time parents should have arranged to purchase their own instruments. There will be a fee to cover instrument insurance.
