- This tune came up in the comments and then a couple days later it came up at a session and the timing seemed fortuitous so here we are. Good standard session tune, here.

Each time I discover s be doing I want to learn, this guy has done the tutorial. Love this tune
What a lovely tune...
It's amazing. I'm from Brazil.
A nice tune. I keep thinking there might be a video, "Functions of My Watch." to be had.
Hi Sean - Many jigs have an ending bar of two sets of three 8th notes. But when I listen to them played it sounds like three 8ths and a dotted quarter. I'm I hearing this correctly? The dotted quarter seems to me a more satisfying ending. Ending with three 8ths seems very abrupt.
Probably, but it depends on the tune I suppose - and there's always room for variation.
Great tune! Know of any common session tunes that aren't in D, G, or their relative minors/modes? I'm looking for a good excuse to use those extra keys I paid for
dean84921 hmm good question - assuming we’re excluding A major/minor tunes there are some in C major and D minor that are playable on the whistle (more or less). I’ll see what I can dig up!
@@whistletutor Thanks!
If you go to The Session.org and click on "tunes" there is a heading, "keys" seems every key is listed.
You want to play tunes with whistles in other keys, right? Say an F or C whistle? It's perfectly possible to do that, but at a session? Not so much.
Sessions are social events and one of the conventions is that we generally stick to the conventional keys (I'd include A on your list for tunes that are traditionally played in A). That's to increase participation (even for new people who just turn up) and conviviality.
Pick up your E flat whistle and start rattling through a set, and you won't win many friends and you'll get a few hard stares. You're basically saying, look at me suckers, aren't I great, and you can't join in.
Maybe your local session is up for it and may agree to start learning tunes in "unusual keys", but I wouldn't count on it just so that you can use different whistles.
There are, however, a couple of things you can do that won't upset anyone. You can play in D on an A whistle, and obviously, in G on a tenor G whistle. Then there's the whole thing with tenor (low) D whistles.
You'll find that most of your public playing on anything other than a D whistle comes outside of sessions. Maybe you could start going along to open mic nights and contribute a couple of tunes on a whistle. You could get together with a friend and do this. Of course, this is on the way to forming a "band", which in reality where players get to play their "unusual keyed" whistles ... but don't count on it, other players will still be happy playing D/G/A and all the modes and minors etc that come from them.
@@andrewwigglesworth3030 I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm wondering if there are any common tunes in the Canon that are meant to be played in keys that aren't D/G/A major and their realative modes and minors. I wouldn't dare try playing Jimmy Wards on an Eb flute just to throw people. In my area, for example, the white petticoat is always played in C, for whatever reason.
Hello want to buy this flute
