TIN WHISTLE TECHNIQUES - easy tips for adding emotion to your music.

[@EveloGrave]

This is why I love instruments. I bought a tin whistle as a joke for my Dungeons and Dragons character to annoy my friends. Now I am actually practicing in my free time to get better. There are so many skills to learn. Your videos have helped immensely in my experimentation to find what fits. Thank you so much.

[@CutiepieTinWhistle]

Aww amazing! Do they know you can actually play it now?? 😁

[@EveloGrave]

@@CutiepieTinWhistle Not really but I can make actual music now instead of random toots.

I found this kind of blowing video a bit more intellectual than the others... Thanks, that was lovely.

[@zadup]

Before starting my adventure with tin whistle I thought that fingering would be the hardest, and blowing was just blowing, nothing difficult. After a few days, each clean sound is a little success for me, even though I mastered Concernig the Hobbits quite well. Great channel Stephanie, thanks a lot!

After all this years... i finally found ideal tin whistle chanel! Thank you ^_^'

[@friganwombat1931]

i recommend fiddling with my tin whistle too for tutorials

[@geldeddonkey7320]

I bought a tin whistle whilst in Ireland years ago , I’m of Irish Heritage ,and during the Covid lockdowns I got into it, love it! Such a passionate instrument. Still got a while to go , but I play several other instruments and its in my practice routine. Enjoy all 🇦🇺

[@michk5149]

The finger sliding was a nice piece of info to learn.

[@YukiTombo]

A lot of this came to me intuitively as a former trumpet player. SO glad I did music as a kid!

Just started with the tin whistle a few weeks ago and by watching your videos I have progressed quite a lot in a very short time. You are a good teacher, you make it so very easy!

Hi! Cutiepie. You are so cute. I am taken up the ten whistle again, i don know the notes, i played a little as a boy. I got distracted as a man, Now i want to practice the whistle again. Congratulations on reaching nearly 100.+k on the tube.

[@garypeluso3300]

I'm the same. I just naturally use breath vibrato. Some of my fingers don't move fast enough to have a good vibrato. Remembering and finding when to taken in air is a good to know. I get so focused on playing a tune I forget to breathe in (hahah). I've played around with puffing my cheeks with the lowest notes. Still pursing my lips but let any addional air slightly fill my cheeks and regulates the flow out to the fipple. Just did that by accident but haven't perfected it. Your ornamentation set is perfect and is just enough to add beauty to any tune. I've tried the complicate cut/tap/rolls and I could never get the hang of them. Thanks for sharing!

[@ВасилийРязанцев-я3ы]

Хорошо когда это все доступно , Но проживая в глухой сельской местности ,не так то просто приобрести такую игрушку , поэтому выход из положения был один , изготавливать и учиться на ней играть пришлось самостоятельно , да и играть на инструменте сделаном своими руками куда приятнее , Огромное спасибо мастерам которые достаточно понятно об'ясняют и показывают как изготавливаются такие инструменты , и девушкам - музыкантам которые проводят видеоуроки как играть на таких флейтах , Ведь это полезно как для здоровья так и для души , Очень рекомендую всем , займетесь не пожалеете ! Удачи всем кого-то заинтересовало .

[@reedlewis6779]

Thank you for the tip on how to play the higher octave. I have been frustrated to the point of putting the flute down for several months because I couldn't find a tutorial on how to properly achieve the higher octave. You put it in simple terms. I was one who just blew harder and got more frustrated. There is no tutor in Austin, TX, so I've been relying on KZbin videos. Even if you think it's too simple to put on KZbin you may still influence someone. Nice job on the ornamentals too.

[@randlyons7278]

Cutie, (assuming your huba doesn't mind me calling you that), diaphragmatic vibrato was recently developed (hence they didn't even know about it). I suggest it is the only practical way to vibrato on flutes such as the whistle, the recorder, Native American flute, and although the lip vibrato can be use on the transverse, diaphragmatic is the way of proper method taught today. To bad it's so hard to learn huh.

[@rodrigocortez6099]

Hello, just arrived here and I am loving your channel. Thank you. In this video you mention Vibrato, and say "yes, do it if you like" but don't really show how to do it. I think it's really beautiful, could you make a video exploring it a bit more?

But yesterday I got an original Clarke, of those little black ones, u gotta blow a bit harder on them, and the vibrato has been starting to come out naturally. Through diafragma tho. Thank you

[@pajamasflannel]

I’m thinking of getting a low d as my first whistle. Is that not a good idea?

[@CutiepieTinWhistle]

pajamasflannel you're much better off starting with a high D Whistle. They're cheaper and easier to play. You'll learn all the basics and techniques you need to pick up a low whistle and play it easily and you'll get to know if you actually like playing whistles before you spend any money. Low whistles need a different grip and a lot more air and the finger holes are large and far apart. They can often be too much of a stretch for people to be able to actually play, (my husband can't play one because his fingers won't stretch enough). They're more difficult to play in general, so everyone will recommend starting high then going low 😊 pick up a Clarke Sweetone (in the video here) they're less than £10 usually and will be a great place to start.

I have just discovered the mathematical equation for beauty: B = SIGMA(Ri), Ri is radius of all profile lines (face only). In simple Engish: the rounder your face, the beautiful you are (not to the extreme of course). This equation only applies to women. For men, there no such thing as beauty.
