I have just been learning tin whistle and am LOVING your tutorials!!! I'm a recorder player, so fingerings are different as are many of the forms of ornamentation. I have a group of seniors who want me to teach them tin whistle, but I told them I'd basically be learning much of it right along with them. Thanks so much for your outstanding videos and fun way of learning!
Sweet! Tin whistle goes good with breath work too! I play when I'm anxious. Sweet new tips coach! Thanks
Another very informative video - thanks. You've explained these ornaments better than I watched on a "professional's" video.
Your slow mos and close up videos are SOOOO helpful! I try to watch other tin whistle tutorials and they just don't show what they're doing very well. I would love a video on how you place these ornaments in a song. I'd even buy you a coffee for that. :-)
As usual you take something difficult and make it easy... I didn't know a "long roll" from a sausage roll. Thanks for this!
Enjoying yourself is the most important thing!!
I've bought recently my new tin whistle and this tutorial is very helpful by far...thank you!!
Fab stuff! Thank you very much, that’s exactly the level I needed it broken down to!
Love it! Easiest breakdown I’ve found yet. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for slowing down the video. Ornamentation sounds so beautiful when done right.
Again, a simple but fantastic and merry explanation. Thank you!
You’re am! Thankyou for all your videos
Great, simplified and very useful!
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial,there is so much love for music and to be able to pick up instruments and be able to play them even though it's not "the proper way" Just to be able to play something and make it sound good helps so many people and makes them feel good. It's so therapeutic and I think people forget that,for someone who is looking for an escape and just wants to have fun this is so perfect. Music is music and it's there for enjoyment, I'm going to get hate comments for that but honestly for someone who used music to help me with depression and at times of loss this is perfect. Your tutorials are so helpful to us and you make such beautiful music I will continue to support you and pass along your teachings!! Sorry for the long post but I thought I'd let you know what help you have given me 😊
I don't mind a long post at all. So glad you're enjoying the channel and thank you for your lovely comments. xx
Wonderful !! Loved it!!
Nice to see all the ornaments on pipes carry over to whistle
You helped me a lot! Thank you!
wondeful and joyful video as always. Thanks so much :)
I play Japanese bamboo flute . But this technique helps me a lot.
Hi Ms cutie Pie, Thanks for your video tutorials they are really useful! I recently started playing the tin whistle and the practice chanter to enrich my songs with a Celtic sound and you are really giving me a huge help! You are fantastic a greeting from Italy!
Thanks so much! I have lots to practice now :)
This is such a helpful video, Ms CutiePie! Thank you so much! God bless!
Your amazing, love watching your videos.
Thank you Cutie ! For sending so much friendliness, softness and joy. Im absolutely fun of you and the simple way of sharing
Great way to describe her sharing !
Thanks! This was extremely helpful.
Thanks for this tutorial! Most of my "ornaments" are just mistakes I make that I like the sound of. Maybe I can use some actual ones now :D
Haha that’s a good way to put it. I said to my buddy once “it sounds more Irish when I screw up” lol
The great mistakes on tinwhistle 😄
we don't make make mistakes, we have happy accidents
Thanks a Lot, they're more than enough !!!!
To all the tunes !!!!!
Really thanks sssssssss
Very helpful, thank you! :)
So helpful, thank you!! :)
Thank you, I found this really helpful.
Thank you so much for your working. I think that many things are coming by doing and learning. It's a feeling. Your input gives that feeling Struktur? and that helps a lot. I:ve learned the low whistle also by myself and when I meet you on RUclips I was happy, because I learned so much and you understand my questions. I can not read notes, I do every melody by ear and some times by taps. Notes translate in taps is also a lot of work. Thank you very, very much. 👍👍🎶🎶💐💐
Greetings from germany
wow man...made my life..
Nice one Subscribed...Keep'em comin....
You are a natural at teaching and I thank you for sharing your knowledge! I just started playing the tin whistle ( I play tenor drum in a pipe band and have played guitar for years) and only have a feadog in D but I just order my next one, the Clarke original in D. You have made it a joy to learn!
Thank you :) so glad you're finding the channel helpful!
I'm just starting out on my D whistle and really enjoy your video's. I have looked ahead at all your tunes for when I improve, the Fleetwood Mac Albatross, is one tune I would be so interested in learning!
This is "great" Thank you!!
Thank you very much, this is very important information!
I like using finger vibrato, if played fast its more like a tremolo effect. And I often tap two holes rather than just one. Its a great technique
Amazing, thank you🔥
Thank you very much Cutie Pie for the Ornaments Tutorial, very well presented and not very fast which is very helpful especially for Beginners Wistlers. ❤🎵🎶❤
all breath control, lol merci - excellent
Wow, very nice
Hi one to look at is Finbar Furey playing the Lonesome Boatman, Finbar plays the whistle real fine, love your Tutorials, Thank you 💚💚🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪u
My interest is in blues and kwela and improvising. These exercises are great for increasing fluency in general and adding techniques to any style.
S. Thanks a mill. Really enjoyed bideo and it was so easy to pick up and learn
Nice videos. I play the great highland bagpipes and what you call a cut we call a grace note. And the “long roll” is similar to what we call a d throw.
The Queen of the Freudian Slip.😊😋🤗
Thanks my granddaughter Niamh enjoyed this😇😀😊
I'm not sure I entirely agree with your depiction of the tap. The way I learned it, a tap isn't much different from the cut - it *is* practically a cut, only the grace not isn't played from above the main note, but from below it. Also, the cut isn't called "cut" because it "cuts off the airstream", but because the grace note, as it were, cuts into the lower main note.
Better than other tutorials from other players..
thank you ♡
Excellent! bravo
Cool 🌟😎👍 Thank You
I think you were very honest in this video about things you didn't know before, given that you yourself learned from online resources. Now that five years have past, if you remade this video, I wonder if you'd have more confidence in just explaining the ornaments
Not really 🤣 I still haven't had a lesson, so I only know what I've pieced together online. My intention has never been to master playing Irish music and the techniques associated with it, so I just play what sounds nice to me 😊 I've only ever played for enjoyment, not necessarily improvement. It's a strange approach, granted, but it's the only instrument I've ever stuck with, so I'm sticking with the leaning technique too 🤣 x
thanks. Very helpfull
Good Nice Ornamentation's, good explanations
This was great! One thing I really struggled with at the beginning is "tonguing" or the tah or tuh sound.
Love it.. I love Autodidacts, being one👍 learnt flute on YT not as good as you though 😁
Thank you :)
Very nice tutorial.
Thank you.
You pretty much covered all the ornaments I know, with one exception. The Irish piper's cran, which was imported to whistle playing by uilleann pipers. It is used on the bottom D and E notes instead of the roll, and consists of a set of quick cuts above the note. So a cran on D would be D-g-D-f-D-g-D-a-D or D-a-D-f-D-g-D-a-D. I should point out that while I know about crans, I can't do them well enough to play at speed.
Wow, that sounds tough!
CutiePie they’re actually really straightforward! I’ll send you some examples on Facebook
As a fun bit of trivia, in bagpiping, we have a similar beastie called the Crunluath. It is a full embellishment that goes LG-dg-LG-eg>LA-fg-LA-E and also sits at the bottom of the chanter scale. It makes a sound like "mbidderee" and goes off like a ripple before a making a g gracenote to another melody note. I'm sure that it's no coincidence the word "Cran" is so like "Crun" in the names of these movements. Luath means fast, so "Fast Crun" wouldn't be a terrible way of thinking on this one.
@@CutiepieTinWhistle This gent explains crans very well. ruclips.net/video/H936JgpGF0c/видео.html
I love doing Trills it sounds like a Fluttering Bird.
What a pretty dress--that color is great on you. :)
I have a particular ornament I do which I don't know where I picked up, but I don't really see it in any trad music. I'd like to say I made it up but more likely it's a quirk I picked up from another youtuber or something like that. I love it though, maybe one day I'll be able to explain it or show it xD
cheers for this
Precious!
Nice one cp I enjoyed that as always 😊 happy jan 19 ✌🎶🌼
You're a didactical top teacher, really helpful way of explaining and showing! And its so fresh and sweet, how you share your joy playing that little instrument. Thank you very much! How long do you play tin whistle?
Thank you
You’re great
Thanks.
Breathing! Yes! Please do a tutorial on when to breathe! I play the tin whistle during communion Sundays at my church. People love it simply because it is different from traditional instruments played in church. I hate having to take a breath during the middle of a stanza because it sounds so unprofessional. :( I know I am not a professional in the first place, but I know it can sound much better if I find more appropriate places to take a breath while playing the songs. Thank you for these tutorials ~ :^)
Spiritual Goddess, Aho. If you have seen any of my comments here on Stephanie's channel you know that I'm into the Native American style flute. We N.A.F. people call the part of a song between the pauses a phrase. These pauses are where to take a breath. If it's a short pause take in whatever air that pause will allow. If it's a longer pause take in as much air as your lungs will hold so you will be able to make it through the longer phrases. A really good example of this is a Native American flute artist by the name of Mary Youngblood. Mary has been awarded a couple of Grammys for her albums. You can find most of her work on RUclips. On her song, Within My Heart which is on her album Beneath the Raven Moon you can actually hear her breathing between phrases. I hope this is of help to you. May you walk in balance. Mitakuye Oyas'in.
@@glenndent6626 ........ Thank you. I watched Mary Youngblood's live video and you are right. It is very beautiful to listen to! I also watched how she breathed. Yes, this did help. Thank you very much for your kind response. Blessings and Love to you always.
Hola gracias por el tutorial ya que soy nuevo y quiero aprender a tocat el tin whistle
Helpful
Have a look at J.S. Bach’s ornaments. I think the tap == mordant. Great video!! :)
Thanks for the tutorial. In Irish tine whistle music is the ornament played on the beat of before the beat?
I don't think it really matters. Just wherever it sounds nice to you 😊
Thank you, I have a Clarke and need some idea on how to get the air out
Do you mean by 'get the air out' that it sounds breathy? I have the Clarke traditional (which I think is reviewed in another of these videos) but I don't really play it any more as I found it really difficult to make it sound nice, I played around with how I positioned it and how strong the airflow was but still didn't really like it. I have a Dixon now which cost about £23 and it's absolutely gorgeous. I'd recommend going to a specialist music shop and trying some different whistles if you haven't already to find one you really like :)
I'm workin' on it, workin' on it ... :-)
Check out this book Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle by Grey Larsen
For the beginner to the highly advanced player of Irish flute, tin whistle, or Boehm-system flute. Features a simple and penetrating new approach to understanding and notating ornamentation that goes beyond any previous method, exploring ornamentation techniques never described in print before.
Also includes adaptations for Boehm-system flute players, guidance on breathing and phrasing, 49 ornamentation exercises, history and theory of traditional Irish flute and whistle music. by Mel Bay
Good wee video Stephanie! I’d only say with the rolls you want to make sure your tap is a real strong “strike” rather than just lifting and replacing.
You want it to be a sequence of
Note- Cut- Strike - Note
But it should sound nice and continuous and have a very characteristic “pop” it takes loads of time but it just happens eventually!
A rolls are the tricky ones though, Cutting with the A or B finger and striking with the G which is usually the weakest finger. But they come too eventually
Just what I was looking for 🥹🥹🥹
Please, add the complete songs to the list of tutorials if possible:
Whiskey in the Jar, by The Dubliners
The fields of athenry
and The Morning Dew by The Chieftains
Thank you
I play bit whistle self thought most Irish sessions are same tunes and when every one is drunk all they want to is lonesome boatman I can't stand the tune for some reason 🤣 any way great video keep practicing u be fine most Irish sessions are out tune so u be grand😀
Liked this. Is there any notation for cuts, taps and rolls in printed music? I'm used to conventional music notation, so this is all new to me.
Not on tabs, but you can pop them in whenever you feel it's appropriate (or easy) 😊
Thanks for another really helpful video! There is a most beautiful Irish tune called "Eanach Dhuin" ( apologies for any spelling mistakes!) It is a terribly sad lament inspired by a tragic boating accident but it is absolutely beautiful and lends itself to some of these "tricks'. Dont think youve covered it yet? Please consider doing so if not!!
Thank you. Send me a link to a version you like. I'll check it out 😊
Thanks!! A link is ruclips.net/video/BO3IW1W-e0I/видео.html
Those cut notes are similar to the grace notes I leaned for bagpipes.
I’ve got a MEG tin whistle in C ( but cannot play it )I think we’ll that’s what it says on the whistle.Can I just use your tabs to play your tunes ?
Thanks for your vids love em.
You totally can. Except the fact you can't play with her but the tabs are the same for all the whistles, like harmonica tabs because they are diatonic instruments
You are a CutiePie.
Loved your tender voice. Hey lung exercise!!! Guys do not blow/breath out as much as girls, 2 years differences?
Hi Ms. CutiePie... My recent interest in celtic music brought me to your videos, and it literally made me want to own and learn tin whistle, Thank you so much. I already planed on purchasing one from my first salary (lol).
I have a question Ms. Stephanie, I noticed in many of your tune/reel tutorial, you kinda able to do vibrato without using "tap"/finger technique ornament, how did you do that? Is it with breath or that "Thoot"/tongue cutting?
...and Love from Indonesia 🙏👋
You should find this video useful 😊 ruclips.net/video/zbcAMEBjq1c/видео.html
When playing the roll, the cut and tap aren't supposed to be audible as distinct notes. It's supposed to sound more like da bla bla.
Yes... But unfortunately no one can learn it that way 😉 haha.
@@CutiepieTinWhistle : Next up... "flight of the bumblebee" by RipyaKorsetov.
Taps and trills are definitely used in Irish Traditional Music Stephanie.so you were definitely wrong in what you said there.as a former tin whistle player myself I used to use taps and trills myself on the tin whistle.
Sides!
I learned not to use hand lotion before play. There was only slides! 😅
Hi cutie pie thank you young lady good video lol Paul p Birmingham England x 🌹🙂🍁👌
The tap appears to have the same sound as the note played with a cut but seems to be easier to just tap?
It's a similar effect yes, but I find it much easier.
Can i ask when you decide to tongue a note or (finger) ornament a note. I use a combination depending on the tune but i percieve your style is softer (more legato) and more refined than i think mine is. Im interested to know more about how your style as i would like to learn from it to refine my own.
In traditional Irish music tonguing isn't really used very often to separate notes, cuts are used, though I think it really depends on the piece of music. Tonguing is more of classical music trait. You hear it when people play concert flute, or non traditional music on tin whistle.
I probably use it a little too often, but I use it gently so as not to have too much of a pronounced 'tuh' sound. It's worth playing around with how sharp or soft you can make the tonguing sound, then you can use it more freely over a range of different music genres 😊
Most embellishments/ornamentation you can use on bagpipes you can use on tin whistle. We use a lot of these, actually.
You don't articulate on bagpipes, for example, so you kind of have to cut every note to get that articulated sound, and it's a habit I've brought over to my tin whistle playing, which has lent itself to it's own very interesting, I don't know, style?
Same, but took a Class in tin whistle in a homeschool course
Even though this is an old video, I'm hoping someone could answer me. What is the difference between a cut and tap? It sounds the same to my ear, why might you use one over the other?
Cut is from a note higher then the main note.. tap is a note below the main note
