You sing so good

Useful. Thanks.

Whistle 101: Slowly dragging the finger off of the hole does not create the "impression" that you are changing pitches. It actually changes the pitch. In the case that you are describing the pitches are changing through a series of microtones (much like bending a guitar string). Also, a more precise version of this technique will allow the player to play the tin whistle chromatically.

Very helpful. Thank you. I can't move my fingers fast enough for the CBA twiddle so thought I'd just lift a few fingers to modify the notes. Don't know whether they are any actual formal notes or just corrupted sounds. At least i know now what I'm supposed to be doing

Do you have any videos with ornaments please?Thank you

I have a maple wood penny whistle in the key of C. How would you compare both the whistles in the key of C and D.? Thank you in advance. Great video,John...

nice !

You have a beautiful voice!!!

great video and awesome teacher

Have been playing for years but no longer have the breath to play. Can I just listen?

So cool that you’re a bard!

I love this tune but it is at it oldest 18th century, and isnt used in the actual horn dance at abbots bromley. Also, an 11th century Morris tune is impossible because morris dancing wasnt even a thing until 16th century! There is evidence of people dancing on a feast day in August near abbots bromley, but no reference to horns historically until the 17th century!

Great video. I know that this is off the topic,but do you have a video on the cran ornaments? I thank you in advance,John...

You brought up some good points I'm pretty new,though I have a musical ear. I pick up tones fairly well. I have gotten tired of doing cuts on repeated notes. The rolls do accent the repeated notes better in most cases. I am just starting to get the hang of it. The roll is a big strength when I can get the hang of it. Thank you for your help. I am in the Houston,TX area and unfortunately not many people at the whistle here. So I lean on good people like you online. Thanks a.bunch for your help,and I hope that I have explained myself ok.

Great video

Thanks. Maybe a useful idea is to use the term “strawberry” for jigs and “ Routebegwr” for reels.

thanks for taking the time to post this...trying to learn this stuff

You made this tutorial so clear! By 25 seconds, I got what I came here for. I didn't realize that's what it was called, but I had been incorporating it into my playing recently! Great tut 🙂

Wow, gorgeous.

Beautiful!

I wish you can a vedio on classical musical music for tin whistle and recommend some books as wel thnx for your effort madam

Would be useful if you actually had a A or F style mandolin to show things

I wish you stop

Thank you for the video

Thanks for this! 👏Great video

Great video! I have a small correction. A double jig is the most common jig type with two sets of triplets. One with 4 sets, written often in 12/8 is confusingly called a single jig. Or it might be called a slide but don't ask me what the difference is 😅

You really helped me feel more relaxed by mentioning that the tinwhistle isn't standardized. That you can put either hand on top. I don't know why, but that made it seem more approachable. Now I just need to stop watching all the beginner videos and...begin! :) Thanks!

Most perfect fingers I’ve ever seen. Wow!!

Very nice. You’re the only person I’ve found so far to explain how barre chords work in musical notation. I’m attempting to transcribe a guitar piece to tablature and you answered my question! Thank you

thank you so much!

Thanks this was very informative! One question I've always had is how the jigs and reels evolved? Are they completely indigenous to Ireland? How were they invented and developed??

Thank you.Great explanation and a positive presentation. Greetings from England .

I wish there was a good analysis on why these tunes sound so uniquely Irish. I can hear 3 seconds of a song and tell whether it’s an Irish song or not. I don’t think any other ethnic group has music like that

Thanks - I could never figure out the difference between reels and hornpipes. I first heard The Japanese Hornpipe on the album "Hidden Ground" by Jolyon Jackson and Paddy Glackin - apparently the tune originated from a travelling circus which visited Donegal and who used a tune as part of the clown show, proving popular a local fiddler started using it in sessions and that's how it developed. A lot of folk complain that it doesn't sound Japanese in the least, however, I once played the album for a Japanese girl who immediately pointed out that the Hornpipe was pentatonic! Anyhow, the album describes it as a slip jig which is supposed to be 9/8 time - so I guess your explanation is a good as it gets with Irish music!

Che bella e dolce voce. Complimenti!

Explained each one really clearly, exactly what I needed - thank you

Thank you SO MUCH this is exactly the information I was looking for!

Wow! This is great! Thank you! Just what I was looking for!

I can play this tune on my concertina.

Lovely job well done.

I love it but is Heather still around all of her social media is gone except for the RUclips page

Heather, thanks for that! How do you notate a trill where, say on a D Whistle you play a G note, but while holding the G you keep tapping the note two notes down, in this case the E? I can't find the notation for that ornamentation anywhere? And what is it actually called?

Wow this video was so useful to me! Thanks so much for making it! I’m learning Irish fiddle right now and sooo much just clicked in my brain.

All good sound advice, thank you.

What's the tune you played on it? Very pretty ...

Beautiful! No mic just plain and beautiful. Love from India. God bless❤️🤗

Great explanation of ornamentation Heather, well said!!

Thanks for the in depth but not boring help on the basics. Great video. 🌸🌸

Thanks very much, big help, insantly unlocked the instrument for me :)

your voice so sexy
