I have just been learning tin whistle and am LOVING your tutorials!!! I'm a recorder player, so fingerings are different as are many of the forms of ornamentation. I have a group of seniors who want me to teach them tin whistle, but I told them I'd basically be learning much of it right along with them. Thanks so much for your outstanding videos and fun way of learning!

I'm not sure I entirely agree with your depiction of the tap. The way I learned it, a tap isn't much different from the cut - it *is* practically a cut, only the grace not isn't played from above the main note, but from below it. Also, the cut isn't called "cut" because it "cuts off the airstream", but because the grace note, as it were, cuts into the lower main note.

Thank you so much for doing this tutorial,there is so much love for music and to be able to pick up instruments and be able to play them even though it's not "the proper way" Just to be able to play something and make it sound good helps so many people and makes them feel good. It's so therapeutic and I think people forget that,for someone who is looking for an escape and just wants to have fun this is so perfect. Music is music and it's there for enjoyment, I'm going to get hate comments for that but honestly for someone who used music to help me with depression and at times of loss this is perfect. Your tutorials are so helpful to us and you make such beautiful music I will continue to support you and pass along your teachings!!

I have a particular ornament I do which I don't know where I picked up, but I don't really see it in any trad music. I'd like to say I made it up but more likely it's a quirk I picked up from another youtuber or something like that. I love it though, maybe one day I'll be able to explain it or show it xD

You pretty much covered all the ornaments I know, with one exception. The Irish piper's cran, which was imported to whistle playing by uilleann pipers. It is used on the bottom D and E notes instead of the roll, and consists of a set of quick cuts above the note. So a cran on D would be D-g-D-f-D-g-D-a-D or D-a-D-f-D-g-D-a-D. I should point out that while I know about crans, I can't do them well enough to play at speed.

As a fun bit of trivia, in bagpiping, we have a similar beastie called the Crunluath. It is a full embellishment that goes LG-dg-LG-eg>LA-fg-LA-E and also sits at the bottom of the chanter scale. It makes a sound like "mbidderee" and goes off like a ripple before a making a g gracenote to another melody note. I'm sure that it's no coincidence the word "Cran" is so like "Crun" in the names of these movements. Luath means fast, so "Fast Crun" wouldn't be a terrible way of thinking on this one.

Its all about making music, and enjoying yourself, so play what you will; how you will. Most whistle players are self taught, especially since the Internet has only been a useful resource for learners in the last decade. Ornament how you will and make the music sound as you like it. Anyone telling you that something that sounds good is 'wrong' is a complete moron and should only prompt a youtube tutorial on where they can stick their bigotry anatomically :)

Trying to cause as little offense as possible, I would encourage people here not to use this video as a basis for learning. There's a lot of misinformation/wrong technique in here. For example, the way the 'tap' is taught in this video is not how a tap is (and the notion that trills aren't used in Irish whistle music is also wrong). The way she teaches a tap here is another variation of a cut (An actual tap, as the name suggests, involves tapping the hole below the note you're playing). The rolls are a percussive technique to your playing and shouldn't sound like 3 notes as they are here. She seems a nice and engaging screen presence, but learning the techniques in this video is learning them wrong. There are many good resources teaching correct technique for free, for example, the 'whistletutor' channel has good reliable technique. Again, I mean no offense by this comment but I would urge anyone actually seeking to learn the instrument to not use this video as a learning resource. Enjoy the covers and the music, but the teachings are wrong.

There should be no "overt" change in pitch with cuts and strikes. With a proper cut you should just not quite completely uncover the given hole. Strikes should be fast enough that the pitch change does not register in the listener's ear. These techniques came to the whistle/flute by way of the original pipes which lacked a mechanism for interrupting the air flow to the chanter. Everyone should pick up Grey Larsen's "The Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle". It is the modern bible of trad F/W technique.

I hate having to take a breath during the middle of a stanza because it sounds so unprofessional. :( I know I am not a professional in the first place, but I know it can sound much better if I find more appropriate places to take a breath while playing the songs.

Spiritual Goddess, Aho. If you have seen any of my comments here on Stephanie's channel you know that I'm into the Native American style flute. We N.A.F. people call the part of a song between the pauses a phrase. These pauses are where to take a breath. If it's a short pause take in whatever air that pause will allow. If it's a longer pause take in as much air as your lungs will hold so you will be able to make it through the longer phrases. A really good example of this is a Native American flute artist by the name of Mary Youngblood. Mary has been awarded a couple of Grammys for her albums. You can find most of her work on KZitem. On her song, Within My Heart which is on her album Beneath the Raven Moon you can actually hear her breathing between phrases. I hope this is of help to you. May you walk in balance. Mitakuye Oyas'in.

Most embellishments/ornamentation you can use on bagpipes you can use on tin whistle. We use a lot of these, actually. You don't articulate on bagpipes, for example, so you kind of have to cut every note to get that articulated sound, and it's a habit I've brought over to my tin whistle playing, which has lent itself to it's own very interesting, I don't know, style?
