Notes from Tony's workshop

The whistle workshop seemed to be personally successful for all who attended. What follows are my notes (good luck deciphering all of this with having attended the clinic.)

Hornpipe Triplets; don't tongue on the 1

Find the rhythm (in the tune)-you don't have any dynamic range to work with. For example in reels, sit on the 1 and the 3; stretch out the 1 and 3 as well. You can pulse with the breath.

Remember, tunes are about rhythm not notes.

Give a little are on cuts.
