What Else I Do

So y'all know I knit and write, but did you know I also play the tin whistle. I've only been playing for a year--seriously for the past month or so (I tend to start and stop). I think I am okay, definitely not a Paddy Maloney, BUT I do alright. I can play Raglan Road, most Christmas Carols (that are in the key of D), and a fair few of my favourite hymns (that are in the key of D). My whistle does not do middle C, so many songs are out of pocket for me-I am still learn to properly control my breathing for the high octaves.

There are some GREAT online resources to help me learn to play faster (which is the goal--I can play most songs, but when I have tons of quarter and eight notes: my fingers are thick and slow). I also found some AWESOME site with free sheet music.

Maybe someday when I am feeling bold, I'll post a video of me playing.

Maybe...
