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.
Conclusion
We hope you enjoyed the brief introduction to the tin whistle. Wishing you well, no matter 
which instrument you want to study!
