The Tin Whistle has two parts.
The Mouthpiece: This is where you blow gently into.
The Stem: This has 6 holes to put your fingers over.
4 things to remember when playing the tin whistle;
1. You use the first 3 fingers on each hand to play.
2. You put your left hand fingers over the top 3 holes and you right hand fingers over the bottom 3 holes. (we never use our little fingers)
3. You must always blow very lightly into the mouthpiece - it's more breathing than blowing.
4. Each finger must fully cover each of the holes when playing.
