I found out about these instruments two days ago and thought finally, an instrument that will make me feel like I am some kind of mischievous forest spirit! I bought a Clarke Original today, and I am less mischievous spirit and more 'child with recorder'. But I will get there. Thank you for this video.
@@theminingdwarftmd1881 I've only had mine 2 or 3 days. There's a tune called something like Belle Polka, where I can sound like I know what I'm doing. 🤣 But yeah, second octave D definitely sounds like a kid playing a soprano recorder. 🙈 Galway belle polka
So not going to lie, I've been learning Tin Whistle for maybe 5 to 6 months, and I still come here just as a refresher course. Never hurts to relearn the basics.
Good God, no bloody wonder I could never get anything decent out of my tin whistle. I was using my fingertips, not the pads, and I was gripping far too tight. Confidence tentatively restored.
I got a tin whistle years ago on a trip to Ireland and have been meaning to learn it. Now that I am stuck at home I am finally watching your great videos!
Hi, I am not sure if you will see this message, but I decided to buy a tin whistle for myself (aged 73) but also for my Granddaughter to learn how to play. We have both mastered the intro and practising daily (via video lol) however, we want to move on now, but I can’t find any follow up clips, most jump into tabs etc. My question is, have you done any follow up clips as it will help greatly… Many thanks.. Mel and Mila x PS. Both whistles are in “D”
This is super helpful because where I live, there are no teachers that could teach me in real life. So I’ll be teaching myself after this, but this was soooo helpful!!
I play guitar and learned to play recorder poorly about 30 years ago...but was always taken away by the sound of, and the traditional melodies I heard played on tin whistles. Thanks for your splendid instruction...just right for a newbie!
Excellent! I play several instruments, but a tin whistle is not one of them. My granddaughter wanted a flute for her birthday so I thought this would be a good place to start. I really had no idea how to proceed so your video helped immensely...thank you!
My flute arrived today, and after finishing your first two lessons, I'm already playing songs. Thank you very much! I'm heading over to Patreon to subscribe now.
I just got a tin whistle as a birthday gift and this was the best possible tutorial to get started! And your way of explaining it was adorable and wholesome. Thank you!
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I hope you find some of my other videos useful too. Feel free to ask if you have any questions, I'll try my best to help 😊
This was incredibly helpful! I've had a tinwhistle for probably a year now and rarely ever touched it because I had no clue what I was doing, I'm a guitarist, and have never played anything like this. When I couldn't immediately figure it out, I gave up. Thanks so much for the help.
I bought my whistle yesterday 6 Dec 2022 and found your TH-cam page thanks for the basic information now I need to practice . I am not a musician don't know anything about notes so hopefully everything will come together in my practice. I'm 73 yrs old so this is going to be a long road ahead but hopefully I can get my dream together. Hope everybody else is going well with their practice. Enjoy your day.
Enjoy it Terence! There's plenty of information here to help you. I have a free beginner's course to get you started and give you all the info you need: th-cam.com/play/PLfUZy8uhccNge9K9DKDWi7Mzvq45QzMEs.html
The only instrument I’ve ever been successful at playing was the radio!!! I love Irish music and I now have a tin whistle, and if it kills me I will learn to play it!!! Thank you for your video!!!!
Lovely and smart. I'm an old recorder and clarinet player who's just taken it into me old head to get a whistle for Paddy's day, and there's enough difference to warrant a nice tutorial like this. Thank you!
THANK YOU ! I was stuck for 3 days trying to learn a tab and couldnt figure out why it sounded wrong, then I found your video and you explained that by blowing harder he get a whole new octave, got a massive facepalm momment right there
I got a Generation tin whistle in D today and it has been my lifelong dream to play this piece. SO EXCITED AHHH! Your videos are helping me build a foundation first though. Coming from piano, I know I cant just jump into it. "blow harder or softer for octaves...okay then that's new to me" lol
Great lesson Stephanie! Thank you! I ordered and just got my first Clarke!!! Learning new instrument while in qarantine for corona virus! Greetings from Greece
I just bought a whistle yesterday. This helped a ton! I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, but this showed me that I was reading the fingering chart backwards. Now I know how to play all the notes properly!
Hi stephanie . One hour ago I ordered my first whistle.. a red clarke... and just now your lesson appeared on you tube. What a great coincidence .thanx 💜🌹
thank you so much... my friend had gone to Ireland and brought me back a tin whistle... had it in my bookshelf for nearly 20 years, my son is a music major and I wanted to have something to relate with him as music is his passion - so I dug it out and dusted it off. Grateful for your channel, your instructions are clear. Thank you
Brilliant first lesson. I bought a tin whistle several years ago, as I couldn't manage to make music from it, it was put away for a rainy day. After watching your lesson, I'm keen to give it a whirl.Thank you. Paul Lucas.
Thank you Cutiepie. I just time traveled to 1989 recorder class (year 3 of school). Some of it came back thanks to you. I just bought an Irish whistle today. Thank you for the lesson!!! 💚
I am very much impressed with your flute class Mam😊..The way you teach everything very perfectly..Not only ur music ur voice is also very melodious ❤..Thank you so much for this beautiful tutorial video.
Thank you, Stephanie. I am brand new at tin whistling. In fact, I just got my very first tin whistle today in the mail: a Tony Dixon Trad D Cupro Nickel whistle. I'm so excited to start learning. After watching this video, I'm finding it a little bit easier to hit the notes. Thanks again.
So this may be a little long but I hope you see this and know how much your videos/tutorials mean to me. You see I first fell in love with this instrument when I saw/heard how beautiful it can sound when I watch Star Trek The next Generation. Picard had a flute given to him which he would play ever now and then. I loved the sound it could produce. But it want until I started to look for "flutes" that I realized that I was looking for more specifically a tin whistle. Once I knew what I was looking for I started to look for tutorials that work best for me and my learning abilities seeing as how I am dyslexic. So learning things the "standard way" with f# and b and a. I am visual learner and the way you explain how, AND show which notes to play was the perfect storm to help me learn how to play. Or I should say will eventually how to play as I don't even have the money to get a cheap whistle. But I thank you for you videos and genuinely wanting to what your joy with not just me but all of the community. Happy whistling!
I am a beginner. Your channel is by far the best out there!! I know this because I binged watched almost every video you have! Lol Thank you so much for sharing all your tips and tricks!!
Todd Nichols Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I was feeling a little low about my whistling lately so hearing that has really cheered me up. 😊 X
Todd Nichols I've had so many requests for fast songs lately and I utterly suck at fast playing, no matter how much I practice 🤣 I'm pretty impatient with myself too, so I get annoyed when I can't do something. Haha. It's all about putting in the hours though, I've just gotta find some to spare 😊 thanks again for your lovely comments. I hope you enjoy the channel and good luck with your whistling! x
stumbled across your channel today. It made me pick up my old low D whistle. I'd forgotten how soothing the sound is and boy am I out of practice. Not at all like jumping back on a bicycle after years of not riding. thank you for the inspiration. Now, to practice.
I inherited a tin whistle and song book (multi-language with both music scales and tab notations or whatever you would call the little diagrams of the hole placement) and the only song in it I know is Red River Valley, but I've been killing my own ears with that one note, already forgot what letter was said but, all fingers down except 1 on the top left. Finally after watching this and practicing along I was able to make a sound that is compatible with human ears. Thank you. Now I'm finally at "child with recorder" level instead of "banshee crying out local deaths" level in craft 😔🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Welp I looked again at the book before posting this, and the note was d. Apparently there's a tiny little plus sign in the diagram reminding me to blow harder. It didn't explain how to cover the holes with the flats of my fingers, relax my hands, center the mouthpiece just on the tip of my lip, not inside my mouth like a sax, or leaving a wide gap, like a flute, and then run me through the scales though. Some things you really need to see or do to order to learn how to do it **right**
So pleased this video was helpful. On a tin whistle, you can actually hit two notes on every hole. One blowing hard, one blowing soft. One thing that tends to happen is that people blow much harder than necessary when starting out and often end up in what we call 'the second octave' or the high notes straight away, when they should be playing low notes. That means when you try and play that D+ you need to blow even harder to hit a clean note. Make sure when you're trying to play that low D (without the +sign) that you're really just breathing very very gently through the whistle. I have a beginner's course on my playlists that you can follow for free to help get you up and running. Good luck ❤️ and don't forget to enjoy it. x
I ordered the Traditional Clarke Celtic Tin Whistle because it's cheap and still had good TH-cam reviews. Never played an instrument before so I hope I can do this :D
I currently only have a C whistle because it’s all I can ever find in local music shops, so I’ve resorted to making my own low D and D and others, but I don’t have any clue how to play it yet and your tutorial seems pretty legit and simple, I’m subscribe and keep learning 👍😎
I was searching for an instrument that fitted into my fantasy driven soul perfectly and I am going to buy one tomorrow at a fantasy fair in The Netherlands
Thank you so much. I felt down today because of university pressure, but I went to a shop and found this whistle. I’m learning from your channel and I’m enjoying it! Even the waitress was happy that I’m learning to play it ❤️❤️
Thank you for the great tips, Stephanie! I just got my Clarke original yesterday, and I can't put it down. I love your videos, and now I can learn to play along! ❤️
I have had an an old feadog teoranta irish whistle, D, lying around for years. first lesson done, ty. If i manage 'will ye go lassie go', i will be happy with that ;)
So glad you said we need a Whistle in D. Bought one a few years back and tried to learn by a book (which did not work out great) and was worried I'd have the "wrong" whistle.
Once I had a wooden whistle, but it wouldn't whistle. Then I got a steel whistle, but I still couldn't whistle. Finally I got a tin whistle, now I tin whistle!
The only trouble I have with the whistle is keeping in tune. The level of breath control is phenomenal, especially on the lower notes, and I’ve noticed that not many people can hold hold an even note without it wobbling or being out of tune.
Bye the way there's no such place as Northern Ireland, It's Ireland or the north of Ireland 🇮🇪. Soon to be United Ireland. Apart from that well done with your lessons. Slán Go Fóill from the North of Ireland.
You have such a warmth about you, thank you so much for taking the time to do this lesson, 28 year old scotsman here looking to go back to his celtic roots haha :)
If you’re just getting started I recommend learning to read sheet music (even if it means playing nursery rhymes for quite some time) don’t become dependent on tablature. Then concentrate on playing by ear so you are not a slave to sheet music. This is what I’m doing this go round, as I’ve picked up the whistle again. Don’t compare yourself to others and take all the time you need.
Thank you so much, your lesson is very, very useful for me, beginner... I've just bought my first tin-whistl in D ("Feadóg"), and you really help me. Greetings from Saint-Petersburg...
I think your tutorial will benefit my desire to play this musical instrument. So, you just gained a new follower then. I will take advantage of all your tips and suggestions to learn this very well then. Thank you for taking time to teach this.
They tried to teach us at school in the 80 ts in cork city Ireland but thanks to you my daughter is trying for the first time in London and I'm learning from her and you so thank you verey much hope there more to come 😎☘☘
Thank you so much for this video; it's been extremely helpful as I really didn't know what I was doing before. Whereas now I actually have a half decent chance at getting started with this not so seemingly-simple instrument.
I found out about these instruments two days ago and thought finally, an instrument that will make me feel like I am some kind of mischievous forest spirit! I bought a Clarke Original today, and I am less mischievous spirit and more 'child with recorder'. But I will get there. Thank you for this video.
I felt this comment in my soul 😂😂 I felt the same way when I was starting.
I want to be a bard in dnd but how can I get into character if I can’t even play my instrument?
🤣 love it!
I bought mine yesterday and feel the same way.
It feels akward. Hopefully its rewarding in the end.
@@theminingdwarftmd1881 I've only had mine 2 or 3 days. There's a tune called something like Belle Polka, where I can sound like I know what I'm doing. 🤣

Totally agree
I was terrified when I ordered this I thought oh you're being so silly but you have helped me a great deal thank you so much you are amazing.
I am as well, so that by the time it's delivered I'll already know the basics :)

Just got my first whistle but I'm struggling a bit...can't believe how gently you need to blow 😳
It’s even worse if you’re an oboist, which takes a lot of strength the make a sound on.
It’s easy I’ve been doing it for 5 years get used to the note and then it’s easy 👍🙂
The tip about resting the mouthpiece on the bottom lip is genius - happy to subscribe!

she is an awesome teacher. have fun guys
I inherited a tin whistle and song book (multi-language with both music scales and tab notations or whatever you would call the little diagrams of the hole placement) and the only song in it I know is Red River Valley, but I've been killing my own ears with that one note, already forgot what letter was said but, all fingers down except 1 on the top left. Finally after watching this and practicing along I was able to make a sound that is compatible with human ears. Thank you.
Now I'm finally at "child with recorder" level instead of "banshee crying out local deaths" level in craft 😔🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Welp I looked again at the book before posting this, and the note was d. Apparently there's a tiny little plus sign in the diagram reminding me to blow harder.
It didn't explain how to cover the holes with the flats of my fingers, relax my hands, center the mouthpiece just on the tip of my lip, not inside my mouth like a sax, or leaving a wide gap, like a flute, and then run me through the scales though.

Thank you so much for this video; it's been extremely helpful as I really didn't know what I was doing before. Whereas now I actually have a half decent chance at getting started with this not so seemingly-simple instrument.
Thanks for the help!
well, buying this whistle soon and subscribing your channel.. I hope I will learn it...
Thank You So Much For The Lesson!
I love your videos!!! Thank you for all, I'm your fan from México
Great presentation. Thank you.
I have put this on watch later as i cant find my whistle or my marbles i keep loosing stuff Sweeie 😂❤
As a tuba player, soft blowing is definitely a thing that I will have to practice
I love how you explain how to blow a whistle, and the way you talk about fingers and holes that makes me wanna practice playing a flute with you
I use my right hand up and my left hand down. I never had any problem. Great tutorial.
Yes, all depends on which hand is dominant usually :) dominant on the bottom in most cases but not always.
Excellent tutorial Cutie Pie. THX
