Introducing John Ryan's (Armagh) Polka for Low and High D Whistles

In this video I introduce John Ryan’s Polka. This polka goes by a number of other names, including the Armagh Polka. I’ll walk us through the tune, we’ll talk through any challenges we may experience, think about ways to ornament and express the tune, and look at the history of the tune.

Select the video on the right to learn the tune with me.
