[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Good luck on your flute and Happy Christmas!!

Great to have a course on the low whistle, and I'm looking forward to trying it. But starting in Lesson One with a tune that heads right up to High C seems a little scary. I know the course is not for complete beginners on the whistle, but still ...

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Hi Anna, have you tried any of the other tunes in the course?

[@anna.g]

@@onlineacademyofirishmusic Yes, I'm working my way through now and greatly enjoying it. And some of the other tunes are both lovely, and less scary! :-)

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Glad to hear it !

[@annmariepollock1684]

Do you have any recomendations on which low whistle manufacturers i should check out?

[@monkmichael-munkmiikael-hy7842]

Colin Goldie!

[@jamescasement6635]

Would have liked to know about breathing techniques

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Hi James, do you play the tin whistle? How long have you been playing?

[@ontheotherhand7627]

Might you tell us what kind of whistle that is? When I hit high C on mine, the cats lift their heads out of their respective puddles of sunlight and grimace, and I can't blame them.

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

It's an O'Brien

[@yuleforrest6290]

Didn't he say it is a Collin Goldie? Looks like my friend's collection though so I might just have imagined that. lol

Howya I’m living in dublin I’m wondering is it only online classes or do yas do it in person also.

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Hi Michael, it's just the online classes we do. Try your local Comhaltas branch.

Can I get the C natural note in a Low whistle by blowing OXXOOO?

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

Yes. Have you tested it with a tuner?

[@javierdejesusahumadareyes3422]

@@onlineacademyofirishmusic Sorry, I'm making flutes and the first one I made I can't reach that note.

[@javierdejesusahumadareyes3422]

May I ask what is the diameter of the holes in your flute?

[@onlineacademyofirishmusic]

I'm not a flute player but I heard people talking about the different fingering to make the C natural. There are a few variations I think but I'm not 100% sure. What type of flutes are you making?
