Instrumental Resources
The Feddan whistle course has been very popular in the Island's primary schools. As well as being an accessible instrument for beginners, the whistle is also an important part of Manx traditional music and so this course serves to introduce students to their own Celtic culture and to the Manx Gaelic language. At the end of the six week course, the class will be ready to perform as an ensemble. There will be opportunities to sing, play, improvise and compose and to watch and listen to performances on the whistle. Feddan is aimed at year 5.
