    I am beginning to learn Irish music, and ornamentation with Cuts, Rolls and Crans are a beautiful expressions of notes. This video is very well presented, providing a slow to moderately paced introduction to these techniques. Chris makes you feel at easy with an invitation to follow along. The instruction is clear and concise making learning these embellishments a joyful thought. I quite like the warm illumination of the music studio. I just love learning this music. Well done, Christopher McMullan.🎶🎙🎚

    Brilliant. Thanks for not taking for granted that I know what a cut a roll or a cran is! Because I don’t.

    When I asked about ornamentation I was actually thinking more along the lines of little stickers to put on the whistle, though this is much better. Cheers!

      Ha! Well played! We could make jokes about jam on rolls, or cranning for exams.

    Thank you Chris for this amazing class. Everything looks easy but practice is quite important. I'm learning by myself so it seems a little more difficut, however I know I cn do it. Thanks again for your video.

    This is soo good but also so mildly infuriating. My fingers can't do what my brain tells them, it's so frustrating but I guess the only solution is practice, practice, practice!

    Thank you so much for this! Brilliant wee tips. Why don’t other teachers share this info too? Tis so so helpful. God bless ye. Thanks again and best of luck with everything. Are you a donegal man?

    Great video! Thank you!
    P.S.: I wish EVERY classical musician would watch this video before making epic cringe by playing Irish music with ornaments from classical music.
    Several years will pass until we will hear authentic whistle in computer games and movies, for now it's 99% lazy imitation.)))))

    @Luke-ih1oc Před 3 lety +1

    When you do a roll, why do you sometimes tap with one finger and sometimes tap with two fingers? I've seen others explain rolls wherein the tap only seems to involve one finger. What's the difference?
    Also, can you do a roll anywhere as long as you can tap one or two notes below? You only showed 3 rolls; are those the only 3 that you can actually do?
    Also, it's interesting how when you do the crans you don't lift the fingers in descending order, you do two and then the one above. I've seen another guy that does the three fingers in a row (from closest to mouthpiece to furthest away). Is this just another personal preference thing based on how it sounds?

    • @kattidee
      @kattidee Před 3 lety

      I'd like to know the answer to these questions too! It's confusing to see it done differently by different people but with the same name for the various ways of doing the ornaments. Also they seem to be different even among themselves depending on the note. I wish someone would explain all these differences and which way is "correct" and why it is "correct". Or can we just wing it and just ornament however we develop a style for it? And then call it a cran or a roll if our style resembles one of those?

  • @vinniejones8009
    @vinniejones8009 Před 2 lety

    They sound fine on a tune that is not too fast, but when you get a jig or a reel the ornamentation just blurs the melody and turns the whole thing into a jumble of notes

  • @tonygillespie6907
    @tonygillespie6907 Před 2 lety

    Mate just a wee question coming from a learner.. do you not incorporate f and e rolls in your whistle playing? And if not can I ask why not?? Just picking your brain to see if there's a reason?
