Tin Whistle Tutorial - Learn to play the penny whistle

[Ellufina]

mistake! Language position incorrectly!!

[magnumdog]

A music tutorial with no sound... yeah, that's the way to go...

[OLENTZEROMAITEA]

What is the difference between the note `` A `` and `` A note *``??...

¿¿ WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE POSITION OF THE FINGER??

[KiltedMusician]

@OLENTZEROMAITEA

The difference is in the pressure of your blowing. You can hold your fingers on the top two holes and play a low A or a high A based on how much air pressure you put through the whistle.

It sounds like it's going to be hard to figure out and remember, but it's great. Natural whistling is the same way and the whistle becomes like whistling with your lips. The different pressures associated with different pitches, and different finger positions all work together to help you.

I think my tutorial much easier and more direct

[skipseglipse]

i ordered a set of tinwhistles B, C, D, ESS, F and G but this site is down =\ i have no way to learn by myself now are there any other good tutorials on the net?

[darkj3am]

so thin whistle is like a recorder with no C i mean lower C..

[FrantikFilms]

No, theyre completely different

[MrMagoo79]

@darkj3am -I believe you can get them in different key's - key of D is common in Celtic music

[NoRosesForMe]

ive been to this site. its good but i need tabs.not notes but tabs. i cant read music. cant find any actual tabs online except one site..i think. Guess I'll have to buy a book! drats.

[fluffytom82]

lol

and what do you do about people who can read notes, but not tabs? (like me)

maybe they should put both on the site :)

[NoRosesForMe]

hehe yea! its like a no win thing with this stuff.

I can play some by ear but...ah geez sometimes ya need the tabs or notes. ,...and yes they SHOULD put both on the site.

[Ferretocious]

So learn how to read music! :) It's not that difficult and will open you up to being able to play just about anything.

[NoRosesForMe]

i cant read notes. I think Ive said that already....?

I can read tabs but not notes.

And I have to play by ear most of the time.

Oh well...I already learned tin whistle pretty easily tho. Picked up on it pretty good.

[caelenvasius]

It is much better to take the time to learn to read traditional music scorres than to rely on tablature for everything for this reason. Tabs don't exist for everything, but if one knows how to read music, they can learn to play almost anything.

[NoRosesForMe]

yes i know tabs dont exist for everything. I have seen some.,,,but not many,,,tabs for whistles. Learning how to read music requires time and patience. Two things I have little of. I come from a musical family but for some reason nobody seemed to read music. I just take it by ear like the old man.

Tks tho.

[bibbles16]

ahhh brother ahhhh he took my penny whistle for christmas !!! arhhhhh sob another christmas present gone...

[greenday45251]

[gigagamer16]

wow thanks, this site helped a lot. I just bought a recorder whistle and it helped me a lot!

[spartin11234]

i realized this... both this instrument and the saxophone have basically the same fingerings... i cant wait to get mine =)

[enrightnyc]

No sound?

[whistleaway]

theres sound on the onsite tutorial

[ROEDEER10]

@enrightnyc My Goodness! I've Gone Deaf......

[enrightnyc]

No sound?

[iluvkandu7]

thankyou for posting this, it answered a couple questions i had about high notes. but do you, or anyone else, know how to play sharps and flats?

[Vaskis4life]

Yeah, to play flats you cover half of the hole lower. To play a C natural instead of the open C#, you put you left middle and ring finger down, convering the second two holes.

[swerty567]

i always wondered how to hit the high notes!

[thayboi001]

thank you very much. It's great.

[origin12121]

[Twiggybell]

thank you so much!

[tracy10UT]

Very interesting.  Looks complicated though for those used to traditional recorders.

[etiennecasassa]
