Online Irish Flute & Tin Whistle Lessons with Blayne Chastain
First launched in 2009, Blayne's Irish Flute & Tin Whistle Course has helped thousands of students around the world learn traditional Irish music online.
Built for players of Irish flute and tin whistle, the course brings together more than 150 tune masterclasses, dedicated technique libraries, beginner foundations courses, accompaniment tracks, downloadable notation and tablature, and lesson discussions where students can ask questions and share insights with Blayne and fellow players. Whether you want structured online tin whistle lessons or a complete method for the flute, it's all in one place.
At the heart of the course are the tune masterclasses themselves. Reels, jigs, hornpipes, slip jigs, polkas, slides, airs, and marches are taught phrase by phrase, with close attention to rhythm, phrasing, ornamentation, breath control, tone, and the musical details that give Irish traditional music its character. Many lessons include both a fully ornamented version and a simpler "bare bones" approach, helping students learn the tune itself before gradually adding more detail as their playing develops. It adds up to one of the most thorough libraries of Irish flute lessons and tin whistle instruction available online, covering everything from tone production to advanced ornamentation.
