thanks for taking the time to post this...trying to learn this stuff
Useful. Thanks.
Great video
Thank you.Great explanation and a positive presentation. Greetings from England .
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
Thank you for that Heather. I like that you wrote the notes on cards and held them up long enough for me to copy them-very helpful!
Great little lesson..cards fab
Great explanation of ornamentation Heather, well said!!
Explained each one really clearly, exactly what I needed - thank you
Nice I was looking for an explanation of this online. Trying to apply it to singing is difficult
I am glad you found the video helpful. :) Yes, singing is a bit different, but the basic principles still stand. Good luck!
Most perfect fingers I’ve ever seen. Wow!!
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.
Have been playing for years but no longer have the breath to play. Can I just listen?
I wish you can a vedio on classical musical music for tin whistle and recommend some books as wel thnx for your effort madam
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.
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?
Hi! I believe more properly it would fall closer in line with how a piano would play tremolo, which is notated like a divisi section (your notes of choice written on the same note staff) and three bold slash marks going diagonally across the note staff. Wikipedia has an article on tremolo which had a nice pic of the notation. Great question!
