See: Manning, Gerard - 1994 - below ...

"There are several good beginners books. The most reccomended include" (http://www.ceolas.org/instruments/Tin.Whistle):

Publications, Cork. 1983, reviesed 1989. ISBN 0 946005 12 5. Includes notes on ornamentation and 100 Irish tunes. The Ossian catalog lists it for IR6.50 (about US$10) with a companion tape for IR3.99. Ossian also publishes Tom Maguire's "The Tin Whistle Book" for IR2.25; this is much more simple and basic than the Cotter book.
 * "Geraldine Cotter's Traditional Irish Tin Whistle Tutor". Ossian

1977. ISBN 0 8256 0190 8. Not as detailed on ornamentation as the Cotter book but has a good description of the modal basis of traditional music. Has many international tunes, though some of the arrangements are a bit irregular.
 * Robin Williamson: "The Penny Whistle Book". Oak Publications, New York.

book+tape set available from Homespun tapes (Box 694, Woodstock, NY 12498). I've heard good reports about it.
 * Cathal McConnell, flute and whistle player with Boys of the Lough has a

Piper's Club. 1976 (7ed.).
 * John and Eithne Valley: "Learn to play the Tin Whistle" books 1-3. Armagh

including some transposed bagpipe tunes.
 * Traditional Highland Tin Whistle is a tutor based on Scottish tunes,

For more advanced players, probably the best book around on the whistle, including lots on ornamentation, phrasing and articulation is:

Publications, Pittsburgh, PA 15217, first published in 1976, revised since then. (see his website: http://members.aol.com/feadaniste)
 * L.E. McCullough: "The Complete Irish Tin Whistle Tutor". Silver Spear

Featuring three renowned international tin whistle players: Bill Ochs (USA), Robert Sithole (South Africa), Mary Bergin (Ireland). This film was made in 1993, to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the invention of the tin whistle. Sadly, Robert Sithole died in 2006). vimeo.com/27537291.
