The Irish Washerwoman

[superfebs]

Wow, congratulations. Are you half-holing some notes to get a G#, or it's me? Thanks!

[Bitskoemer]

Too fast, I can't follow with my blockflute :P Want to be able to play it too :P

[mergals13]

wowo nice job!

[mergals13]

omg ur AMAZING!

[opticalworld]

wow amazing! ive been trying to play some jigs on the recorder too but it didn't world for me. Nice job!

[MrGoodCelloGuy]

ha ha ha nice use!

[omg5501]

whata...nice playing!

[zazzolina]

lol! Io alle medie dovevo suonare "il piave mormorava calmo e placido al passaggio"...ahaha...si vede che il flauto stimola la musica patriottica :)

Maybe i'm gonna take out my middle school flute lost somewhere...it's pretty cool!

[BRENOP1]

I can play this but the sheet that I have doesn't have the full song. Just the beggining.

[silkyslim768]

that preformance was outstanding !

[ButterCandyTheGreat]

I have to play this for music class and it's real hard, definitly for a 7th grader! Question, when you play this song do you just play it all while blowing out with the exception of a few repeating notes?

[titanicfan4ever35]

i hav to learn this and its super hard!!!!! nice job!!!!! my finger like fall off when im done

[taneeke]

wow, you're good at it!

It's a PLASIC flute?

[xApclyptcx]

@taneeke Yes. It's Yamaha YRS-23.

[taneeke]

@xApclyptcx But you look that professional! A plastic flute seems very amateuristic. Isn't a wooden flute better?

[xApclyptcx]

@taneeke Certainly.. Wooden recorder better then plastic recorder. I've got Yamaha YRS302 B III. It's plastic too. But it's professional.

[taneeke]

@xApclyptcx I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

Voulez-vous traduire votre réponse? ça coûte moins en plasic qu'en bois, non? Y a-t-il aussi des autres raisons pour choisir celle flute-ci?

[xApclyptcx]

@taneeke I don't know French. Flute = Recorder. I live in Turkey. I have got limited facilities. Please use Google Translate.

[taneeke]

@xApclyptcx Oops, your chanel says you're from France :p

The most important thing is I like your play :)

[catnip4life55]

the music should flow the tonguing your doing is wrong use ornaments to separate notes

[goodbrolly]

Nice job!

[ThaliaSandy]

Great job!!!!

Can you tell me the notes for the second part, please.

I play the first part like you do, but I just can't figure out the high notes...

[SalokinX]

Ok, to be brutally honest, I have no idea how hard this song would be for a beginner on the flute. Could anyone clarify? How long would it take for a beginner to play this? I don't have a flute nor plan on buying one, I am just curious.

[Treppengeist96]

you play verry good and verry well!

5 stars!

[missuscripciones]

Great!, your video will help me in teaching my daughter how to play this melody. I know how to play it on the guitar, but transportation is necessary :)

[hoffmanrox]

Dude....I love haha!! Awesome!! I went down to the dollar store after i saw this and bought a flute lol!

[PLF1977]

@hoffmanrox ;)

[Bowzerisadog]

lol this reminds me of zelda lol

[TheCherokeeboy]

hi, is this a D whistle?

[PLF1977]

@TheCherokeeboy Actually this is a classical recorder, not the traditional Irish instrument this jig is often played on.

[MrHoopy1967]

This is the way it should be played. All you pretenders take note, and thats from an All Ireland Dance Champion

[PLF1977]

@MrHoopy1967 Thank you!

[ulsterman1034]

@MrHoopy1967 Not... the pause betweeen the 1st and 2nd strand was too hesitant and the rall at the end wasn't emphasised. You may be a dancer but I'm a musician

[reptileboy63]

get a wooden recorder i hear they play better for a pro like you

[pkeane1991]

sounds greatt

[miiwiiplay]

I thought this was Holst's " Fantasia on the Dargason"?

[Sommeil22]

I thought that too when I first heard this melody. They're similar, but still different.

[MalzPlaysTheViolin]

You are the master of recorder.

Never in my life, have I heard someone play the recorder as well as you!

[CarnalDiafragma]

omfg perfect

[MrScofi3ld]

this is the best wind instrument for this melody :) i like it

[HRIKVVV]

well done

this must be talent

greetings from germany

PS: THIS is the ringtone of my mobile phone :D

[lookiethar]

Do you think that you could do a slower lesson version? I would love to be able to play more on my recorder than Mary had a Little lamb.

[GP3PocketSnare]

my school band plays this but not as fast.

[mave4444]

yayyyyyy! i loved it. I'm going to try to learn this song and play it for my recorder recital.

[fredthebluetakman]

Mornin:D

Im from Ireland and i hear this all the time (and i know it on guitar) and ive gotta say, that was reallly good, DO NOT pace it down its perect, its meant to be fast its a jig :D

Can you make a lesson video, this would go great with my guitar!

=) =) =)

[PLF1977]

I'm so glad it pleased an Irishman!

[Aden0]

You have pleased a scot too! :D

Very welll played!

[devomp]

and you have pleased an illinoisian! right on!

[celtic4ever18]

yes  its great

[ProudZionistForever]

Beautiful, you are very talented, I have the same flute!

[jasonmorantfan]

ugggggggghhhhhhh.

[pokefaniwu]

im trying to play this on recorder for school,but its sooo fast!!

[Kuzuo869]

GENIAL GENIAL WM!! Dx

[idraote]

non c'entra nulla... ma bellissime mani, molto eleganti... :)

[crudometal]

in che senso non c'entra nulla. il jig è suonato correttamente

[idraote]

mi sembrava d'essere stato chiaro ma evidentemente non è così:

specificando:

il mio commento non c'entra nulla: osservavo la bellezza delle mani cosa in sé irrilevante nell'apprezzamento del pezzo.

[crudometal]

sorry

[MarikAvril92]

bravo

[PLF1977]

Thanks to all of you, it makes me want to post some more! As soon as I have time...

[shanksblade]

that was bloody brilliant and i think the pace is fine

[HippieFoSho88]

AMAZINGGGGGGGGGG!

seriosuly great job! ( :

[RebeccaBales]

That was amazing... I have the same recorder... I wanna learn how to play it on the recorder... I played it my freshman year of college on my flute and it was hard then... but I love the song! You did WONDERFUL!

[FanOfFangs]

This song is very difficult to play so have respect please!!

[sk473p1mp]

major skillets

[InsAInCroManiaCk]

really cool

[HeavenPrayer]

wow! irish songs on the recorder are sooo hard, respect!

[agsalcedo001]

nice played

[mjb0426]

try not to go to fast i don't here it that well...

[PLF1977]

I agree with you, I played a bit too fast for my actual skill.

[DaroKzm]

monotony

[almeez]

Blasphemy

[chikeetka]

you are very skilled... anyway, staccato in irish music doesn't sound so nice as legato, at least a bit unusual for my ears:o) and I think there are missing some tones at the end of the B part... I think there should be "egg dgg|cgg bgg" and there are missing last three tones. but you're good when you play irish music by ear.

[PLF1977]

Thanks for your comment! I indeed missed some notes, sorry about that... I will be trying something more like legato next time, but the necessary tonguing between repeated notes might make it difficult.

[sapainca9]

the tonguing is far from necessary between repeated notes. Try to separate them with a quick tap on the lower note (lets say you play E E, than play E (D) E). Its a common ornamentation in irish music.

[PLF1977]

I see what you mean because I play the bagpipes too. I am not used to doing it on the recorder (was taught classical music), I will be working on that. Thanks.

[heinahattuviltti]

when you are playing it so fast, you are not in the same tempo all the time. I mean the breathing breaks become too long. with orchestra it wouldn`t matter, if the orchestra knew and would support you. now it disturbs a bit.

but good finger work anyway

[VampireCrovax]

Hey! Congrats!

You play very good! =)

[binhoservice]

please you have is notes?

[PLF1977]

I played by hear, but this one should be easy to find on the net.

[sapainca9]

Pace it down ? You're not playing faster than session speed anyhow...

[PLF1977]

I do not mean down to the pace it should be played... I mean down to a pace I would not mess it up!

[harrykatz]

very nice... I gather you just came back from a trip to Ireland!!!!
