### Hammered Dulcimer

## Whistle March

For some reason I picked up my tin whistle the other day, and again today I played it a bit. I learned the G and A scales in addition to the D, and I picked out a few tunes like the usual Mary Had a Little Lamb and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Then I started doodling around in E dorian — basically the same notes as the D scale, but focused around E instead of D.

And this tune, perhaps a sort of slow march, resulted.

## Ian’s letter

You recently wrote me asking about an introductory lesson. I found that another teacher lives much closer to you and would like to write back with her information. However, I seem to have lost your envelope, so I no longer have your return address. I’m hoping that you’ll see this blog post and send me an email or write again. I can also send you to this link for Randi Klees, the teacher I’d recommend you see.
