Tn Whistle Songs

Tin whistle songs from the world of folk and traditional music,free songs from America Ireland Scotland England and beyond all with sheet music. Many beginers have problems reading the music notation on standard sheet music, the covered notes mean to place your fingers over the holes, a +sign means to blow that little bit harder to reach the second octave or get the high notes, to play the sharpe notes half cover the holes.

Rasping Sound From Whistle
Some tin/penny whistles create an unwanted sound called ''rasping'' , you will normally hear this sound from a cheap whistle but this sound will also come from any tin whistle not played cleanly, this is caused by not using a consistent blow on the mouthpiece or from not covering the holes with your fingers properly. This rasping sound will also happen when saliva gets into the mouthpiece. As I say this will usually happen with the cheap whistles, if possible get yourself a good plastic whistle and stay away from the cheaper ones.
A Guide For Beginners
These song notes are only a guide for beginners, the best way of learning the tin whistle, guitar, banjo or any instrument is by ear and going to pub sessions and listening to the musicians playing. The more practice you put in, the greater result you get out, keep at it and don't loose heart.
