My name is Ryan Duns, SJ and I am a member of the Society of Jesus [www.jesuit.org] (I am a seminarian studying to be a Catholic priest). I am currently teaching a course entitled "Intro to the Irish Tin Whistle" at Fordham University.
I maintain a blog where I post many of the tunes that I teach in my videos. If you wish to download them, go to: www.tinwhistler.blogspot.com
I look at teaching music as a form of evangelization. As as my heart has been moved by the gospel, so too has it been moved by Irish music. As I have found a voice to testify to the Good News through years of prayer and study, so also have I found a voice in the tradition of Irish music through years of practice.
The goal of these lessons isn't to teach you neat tin whistle tricks. It is to help you carve out your own space in a much larger tradition, to claim a voice through which you can express yourself and add to the rich fabric of the tradition.

I had a question: do you know the riverdance music from the movie "Titanic"? I believe the first piece is the blarney pilgrim, but I don't know the other one, and can't find in anywhere. if you could tell me, that's be great! thanks again!
