Iv been a Irish tin whistler for like 5 years now :) and don't worry about speed/style your playing the song in because most of the time Irish music was passed down orally and without any notation so everyone has their different styles of playing songs, so don't put yourself down for not playing it at speed or without ornaments 💚keep doing what your doing, I'm glad to see ppl learning this class instrument 🇮🇪

Hi Stephanie, many of us do not understand why you were so upset. You have a loyal following, You do great Tutorials. I thought it were impressive the other day when you learned a song well enough to teach it within 24 hours. So if you want to continue - please do. Happy Whistling.

THANK. YOU. As a beginner whistle player, I don't WANT the ornaments in there. I need to know what notes to play before I get fancy with it, and I'll add the ornaments that I like when I see fit. Having an example to follow that doesn't muck around with that sort of thing straight away is so helpful!

I happen to play very well after 20 years and you are great and I have learned the ending of the hobbit from you. How could anyone say such a thing. I don't see them putting in the work to teach people how to play properly. Good on you - and ignore them.

Thank you for your lovely comments. Would love to hear you play something! 😄 x

The slower, articulate, version is beautiful. It has an emotional component missing when the tune is played in a rush. Music, like life, should not be hurried through. It all ends soon enough.

Oh this. This is one of those skill walls. Once you climb it, you're able to do lots of other cool stuff just because of what you had to learn to play the song in the first place.

Your videos bring joy to any rational person who appreciates creativity, talent, and humor. Thanks so much for sharing them and please don't even think about anything but doing more of them. Thanks again!

Thank you, Thank you! Nice and slow (ish) for us newbies (or oldbie learner as the case may be). In the famous words of the band master in the movie Brassed Off... " and she calls that wobbly?". That was really nice! As a bagpiper, I often find that too much emphasis is placed on speed and ornaments in tunes and not enough on the feeling , to the detriment of the tune. As my old tutor used to say " You can play a tune without embellishments; it's still a tune, but you cannae do it the other way around"

If this is your worst playing, the your a true pro! Music is meant to be played in any style any tempo any way you like. Your amazing and i loved listening to you play this song. I know this was years ago but still, dont beat yourself up just because you cant play a song the same way as someone else. Make it yours! Play it the way you can play it, and it will always be perfect!

Thank you! I barely got through your tutuorial on Star Wars, now this? I will say you keep me both challenged and motivated to become a better player. Your teaching is very clear, and I like the way you don't assume anybody is already an expert. And don't you DARE stop making these tutorials!!! Don't listen to what anybody else says, I will always appreciate your willingness to share the music. You have a least one fan that cares about what you are doing. Thank you again!

The great thing about folk music i learnt and especially irish folk music is that you really can make it your own. All the great whistle players and fiddle players add their own personality to the music through a variety of ornamentation. Personally I thought your version was great. Keep playing with it and find an arrangement you like.

That was played nicer than advertised. Interesting to play it on low whistle.

I think you play this tune beautiful. I also prefer the “slower” version, because the quick one is so fast you can’t really hear the music. Thank you for all your hard work and lovely tutorials. It means a lot to me for whom getting a personal tutor isn’t an option.

I am new to the tin whistle, and perhaps I am a musical brute and not knowledgeable about how these songs should be played, but I think you play well and your renditions are pleasing to hear. You also do a good job explaining things in an easy to learn manner and provide helpful tips such as adjusting playback speed and the tabs are extremely helpful. Since you are putting yourself on the net for public viewing, please don't let criticism get to you too much. Take what you can from them and leave the rest behind. I was happy to hear that you started out just like us, perusing youtube tutorials. It gives me hope that one day I can play well. Cheers

Don't worry, your videos are some of the best on you tube

Thankyou for playing this slow enough for me to learn the notes by ear. You play really well so don't put yourself down anymore. You're teaching not performing. Thanx for the lesson. much love x

Stephanie your FAB,' and you have thousands of us loyal supporters to prove it. You must have been feeling low, as that's not like you. You always give us all such positive vibes, so it's time for us to give back a little. Ignore nay Sayers and down thumbers, as they appear in all walks of life and are usually professional moaners. Music is like science, art and language, it's dynamic and always to be changed and given new life as you do so wonderfully. You give a lot of people like me real inspiration and pleasure and you are a real friend to us all and always remember that. Thanks Stephanie, David.x

You did just fine...the fast ones are such a challenge. I appreciate what you do for all us newbies.

You are wonderful.....keep teaching us.......please...

I've been playing this for a year and dream of sounding as good as you do here. Well done.

This is an amazing resource for anyone who is learning to whistle (i.e. me!!!) And entirely free which is also amazing. Thank you Stephanie. Very much appreciated.

Beautiful, absolutely!

Nothing wrong with that!! Love it!!

Thank you for your videos. They've encouraged me to buy a tin whistle and give it a try. 😊

Look great, sound great and easy to follow - a joy and ray of sunshine!

I absolutely love Cooleys Reel. Normally it's played on the fiddle, but you did an amazing job on the whistle. Very original. Good job!

Nothing wrong with that, superbly played!!!

Humility is a rare trait these days. Outstanding and thank you for all the sharing. Keep doing what you do!

After the modest, apologetic intro I expected the worse, but was pleasantly surprised. Great playing - you're a fantastic musician - an absolute joy to listen to. Thanks for sharing.

Really enjoyed this. The only person who doesn’t like it is my other half because now I want a Low F whistle. The whistle addiction since new year has gotten out of hand 😜

Love the way you play this version

You are nice in taking Requests, not Many KZreadrs do.

This is an exelent reel. Definitely one of my favourites

Giving thumbs up just because you said you're going to get thumbs down! Nice tutorials, your great, thank you :)

Brilliant! I'm finding it so hard to learn this song, but your tabs are excellent. Thank you!

Thank you for the slow version!

Think I am gonna have a bash at this Steph just watched your tutorial, can I say you do a great job breaking tunes down for folks to learn, you most certainly have helped me, I only took the whistle up during lock down to give me something to do, although I have had a whistle for years I didn't really bother with it as I played the Fife in a Irish Flute Band so the Fife always came first. But when the lock down kicked in I thought I would have a go with the whistle and some traditional tunes and now I really like it thanks to yourself and one or two other with these great tutorials, so thank you

Phantastic. Thank you

As Always it was fantastic just as your other ones. You are very talented. Great job. Thank you.

You play beautifully thanks

Always love your videos!! Keep doing more! ❤

Like a lot!! Especially the low and slow version!

Yea I found this to be most helpful the way I can tell what notes are underneath the usual embellishments.

I love these videos. Thank you so much for making them. My daughter and I are both trying to learn. Your videos have become our tutor.

Cooleys is a favorite of mine. That's nice tune there. Good job Stephanie!!

New to whistle and you set a really great bar to hit. Cheers

You are amazing!!! I enjoy wery much mto hear you.

You are the best! I love your videos!

YOURE SUCH A CUTIE PIE 😭😍

I think you're great, definitely inspired me to buy a low D whistle from watching your tutorials, only a few days into the low D but you have helped me inspire my 7 year old granddaughter and myself to play some tunes, great times. Love it, keep it up all the way from Donegal!

You're great. I got inspired to buy a tin whistle to start cause of your videos.

It’s nice to see you struggle with it, as bad as that sounds, because it means it’s a difficult tune and me not being able to play it is fine!

I loved your Cooley's reel. You have excellent phrasing skills: few ornaments placed in the right spots. Maybe you're not fast and fancy but you have an excellent taste in music, and what you play sounds good, ALWAYS. You're an huge inspiration for thousands of whistlers all around the world... what else can I say? THANK YOU. P.S.: I'll never been able to play that fast like in the end of the video :-O 190bpm is insane! the first with the Low F was around 140bpm, it was sooooo groovy.

Youre really good. Never stop! 🔥✨

Thumb down meaning: "I'm jealous as hell of you because you are so cute, so kind and so talented with the whistle as I never ever would be". so actually it's expression of praise too, just a bit more complicated way :DD Or maybe it's from flute teachers who became jobless thanks to your channel :P (You channel is just a w e s o m e)

thanks a lot !!! for help us to learn !!

Sounds great from where I'm sitting in the USA.

Nice job! Sounded like Cooley's to me!

lol, that was not too bad, you sell yourself short, it's better than I can play it. To say that everyone says that it's a beginners tune, I have never mastered it either... :) I did PMSL at the "fast forword" part... so pleased, I watched it till the end.. keep them coming

Is it me or the slower version felt really soothing and calm. I sorta loved the slow version the best :-P Haha. And Steph you are amazing, ignore those haters. Sending lots of love to you :-)

Hi Not sure where the negative comments are - I can't find any. But whatever they were I am sure they were unjustified. Beautiful playing on beautiful instruments I have learned a thing or two. I have played tin whistle for the best part of 40 years and would certainly give Cooleys a different interpretation to yours but as said I have learned from your playing. I realise I have joined this thread very late - but a pleasure to hear you and keep up the good work. Cheers

Oh gosh this reminds me a bit of Rocky Road To Dublin, another fast-paced tune that's super tricky to play. Heck it's even kinda hard to hum to. Good job with this one though :D

It goes well with Fear An Tigh (Man of the House) and Long ag Seoladh(Ships Are Sailing). Shannon Heatom and her husband Matt have also a nice version 😺 They are from Boston. It’s better slower be more swing and right rythm than just fast without style :)

This is beautiful,I think you criticized your self at the beginning, Please continue to upload your tutorials,They help immensely and sound terrific,Thank you very much 😀 ✌.

Hey I enjoyed that.

I somehow knew this reel already. Must of learned it in school or something.

I don’t think my fingers can move as fast as yours at the end anyway! Great job!

I had to smile on the 'fast' version. Sorry about that, but I thought it was amusing. I can't play this tune at all. Never heard of it in fact, but then, I love to play non trad stuff on my whistle, and that's what has me returning to your videos. However, one must keep up appearances, and so some Irish needs must be learnt and played. ;) Diolch Stephanie. You cheered up my day with this one.

i needed this cause i cant play fast at all, actually thank you 👍👍

Thank you!🇧🇷

That sounded great to me. It had pace enough.

I think you did great

That was great, not rubbish at all. I just started playing in May, so I'm sure when I give it a go I'm going to go about 1/4th the speed of your slowest. :) Keep it up, it helps to know I'm not the only one that has trouble with faster songs!

Aho Stephanie. Please realize that you do NOT suck. You simply aren't where you would like to be in regards to certain things. You may be stressing out over your promise to all of us to post two videos a week because you would like the content quality to be a little better and there just aren't enough hours in the day. Trust me, in time you are going to become far better than you are now, and by the way right now you are way better than a good percentage of us. I do not want to see you burn out and fade away like so many do. If you need more breathing room I think I would rather see a little less of you than to not see you at all. Or maybe your second video doesn't need to be a song post. Maybe some history and folklore about the origin of the whistle. The Native American Flute has a couple of stories about it's origin. I would like to modify an earlier request for you to do some improv. I still would like you to do the improv but I don't want you to record it or post it. Please take some time by yourself to empty your thoughts and truly play your heart spirit with your favorite whistle outside in a secluded place. No particular style. Just play your own hearts spirit. This will strengthen you and help you to what us N.A.F. people call, center your medicine wheel. God bless you Stephanie. Toksa Akhe Mitakuye
