Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for someone who can already play the silver flute to some extent. I hope to show you some of the techniques to engage with the sounds of traditional wooden flute, as well as teach you a few tunes along the way. There are lots of my own tunes included which are particularly suited to the silver flute and a few traditional tunes to help illustrate the techniques."a wealth of information for silver flute players who wish their instrument to sound more like a traditional wooden flute...deeply thought through and gives really useful practical advice. ...It really is an impressive book...both entertaining and really useful." - Living Tradition Magazine"hugely important book...Philippe is a master of those techniques...Irish Music Magazine's John Brophy's comment is quoted in the book; "I've heard nobody else who can make the Boehm flute sound like the true traditional thing, who can mould tone to the tune so nicely, the sheer musicality is exceptionally impressive."...This is an invaluable resource for Silver flute players and is a great teaching aid; it should be in every secondary school music room in the country." - Seán Laffey, IRISH MUSIC MAGAZINE"This book serves as an ideal introduction for any Boehm flute players who are interested in exploring the traditional language of Irish Music. One of the most important elements in idiomatic Irish flute playing is the execution of a wide range of ornaments, and they are clearly explaned her and backed up with examples from the repertoire. Barnes stresses the difference between classical ornamentation (which is essentially melodic) and Irish ornamentatin where the focus is on rhythm. He disusses differences in hand position and an appropriate approach to vibrato, and covers techniques such as feathering, cuts, rolls, cranns, bounces and slides. Each technique is clearly explaned in straigntforward language, and there is plenty of repertoire included to help skills develop in each area. Recommended."

In addition to music notation, there is a specially-designed tablature for tin whistle and Irish ﬂute. What makes these tune arrangements easy? They are played in the lower two octaves of the whistle and ﬂute’s range, ascending no higher than B in the second octave. They are in easy tin whistle and Irish ﬂute keys: D major, G major, E minor and B minor. No metal keys are needed on the Irish ﬂute. They use only eight notes: D, E, F♯, G, A, B, C and C♯. They are also easy to play on soprano and tenor recorder, modern ﬂute and piccolo. The author recommends using a tin whistle in D or a standard Irish ﬂute (with or without keys) with this book. You can also use soprano and tenor recorders, modern ﬂute and piccolo. However, the tablature in this book uses only tin whistle and Irish ﬂute ﬁngerings.
