WHY Did I LEARN THE TIN WHISTLE FLAIR?Have you ever dreamed about playing an instrument? Yeah, there are common-place instruments like piano, guitar, drums, and vocals but why not look at something a little different like the Tin Whistle? The tin whistle is an instrument with six holes in the woodwind and is relatively easy to play. In Celtic and Folk music, it is sometimes heard. If it sounds like this instrument is for you, here's how you can get started in this post.

CHOOSING THE CORRECT TIN WHISTLE

Make sure you've got a tin whistle tuned in D's key (your tin whistle will have letter D on it). It is the most prevalent form of a tin whistle. If you're uncertain if your whistle is D-tuned, check with your nearest music store employees.

HOW TO HOLD THE TIN WHISTLE

The tin whistle features six holes. Growing hand has the first three fingers used to cover the holes—all of the tiny digit used on either side. Various notes are made by covering different combinations of these holes as you blow through the instrument. The following photo illustrates the position of baseline play. Remember the left hand is over the right.

IN THE TIN WHISTLE PLAY YOUR FIRST NOTE

The first note you'll learn to play is the note B.Place your fingers to play the record and put the mouthpiece tip into your mouth. You are using your lips to close off any air from leaving your mouth's sides and blow into the tin whistle smoothly and steadily. Do not blow too hard or start the note too abruptly, or you can create the note to play at the wrong pitch or squeak the instrument.

TONGUING

• The tonguing technique uses to monitor the start and finish of a note. To prepare for this technique, whisper the "taaa" sound the sound starts with your tongue sitting back your top teeth, barring the passage of air, and you make the "taa" sound by removing it quickly, letting a stream of air start from your outgoing breath.

• The next move is to practice this with the tin whistle in a position to play a B note, with your tongue in the mouthpiece gently on the hole. The statement should have a well-articulated start when you remove your tongue. The "t" part of the sound offers a definite starting point for the note, and the "aa" Part of the music holds the mouth open so that the airflow stays steady and even the note sounds. You place your tongue back on the mouthpiece to end the message, instead of stopping your breath. It ends the note just as crisply as it started. It's worth practicing the tonguing technique on a single note several times before you feel confident with it.

BREATHING TECHNIQUE WHEN PLAYING THE TIN WHISTLE

• It is necessary to learn how to take a new breath while learning any wind instrument without losing your timing. Take a short, deep breath and be careful not to lose timing at breathing. Counting with this will help you become more relaxed as you play. The right technique of breathing explores in detail in Lesson 6 of our book Progressive Tin Whistle.

• You will note a line of letters and symbols above the staff (Em, B7, Em, etc.) These are chord symbols that signify the harmony to be played by accompanying instruments such as the keyboard or guitar. The chord symbols do not affect the tin whistle notes that you are playing. You can also record the numbers of counters below the employees. The bigger bold numbers are telling you to play a song, and the smaller numbers are telling you to leave it until the next song.
