"I went to a Gaelic Storm concert and was instantly drawn to the whistle. Pete told me he could teach me to play if I wanted and I bought a tin whistle the next day. I have had several lessons with Pete and can now play a couple songs, love being able to learn from Pete."
​​- Wendy Quinn
Pete is a great teacher. He teaches our young daughter online and she is now playing a lot of her favorite songs. His lessons are worth every penny and my daughter loves him, she calls him "My Pete"

Member Testimonials

This website is great, I live in North Dakota and couldn't find a tin whistle teachers. Pete has been great to answer all my crazy questions.
​- Mary Meyer
I can't believe I'm learning to whistle with Pete Purvis from Gaelic Storm.... His lessons are completely fool proof, even I'm able to learn the tin whistle.
- Rachael Moore
Pete's lessons are great, I'm also receiving a Skype lesson from him every month as well and the combination of both of these is helping me progress faster in 2 months than I have in 2 years.
