Review by Malou Meilink - Professional flute player
"Jon’s tin whistle course is thorough, methodical, and exceptionally well structured. It provides a solid and practical understanding of Irish ornamentation, articulation, sound production, and musical interpretation. I have found that my playing has improved significantly through the course’s focused practice on scales and triads, which has strengthened both technique and musical awareness. The course offers an excellent foundation for continued independent study and encourages a deeper understanding of Irish music as a whole. I would recommend it to anyone, whether they read music or play by ear, who wishes to develop their tin whistle playing and their musical insight in the Irish tradition."
HELLO! I'M JON
I'm a professional flute player and teacher from Sweden as well as the creator of this website!
My goal is to teach and inspire people to learn traditional music and play together!
In my early days I taught myself to play the guitar, then the bouzouki, then the bodhrán and at age 24 I found a great joy in playing the wooden flute!
I hold a bachelor's degree in music from the Academy of Music in Malmö, Sweden, and the University of Limerick in Ireland, where I immersed myself in traditional tunes and learned from the masters.
MUSIC I'VE CREATED
This is one of the sets from my brand new album, What I Do, which you can buy here! A set of three reels played on the Low F Whistle.
A composition I made to give tribute to the calming joy you can get from endless repeated mantras or activities.
Here is one of my old time favorite jigs in G-minor. When you listen closely in the end you can hear me sing "Paddy Fahey" over and over in the background.
This is my rendition of the beautiful jig, The Rolling Wave, combined with my knowledge on various instruments and experimental arrangements.
VIDEOS I'VE DONE
Contemporary dance and traditional tunes in collaboration. The tunes are Palmer's Gate and Jimmy's Return.
Here's my version of the beautiful tune Inisheer.
Filmed at Cliffs of Moher and at the Ennis Trad Festival.
