Learn one tune on a tin whistle
“The first ten minutes are squeaks and wrong notes and you will feel about six years old. A tin whistle is built so that in an hour you can actually play a tune, which is the whole point of it.”
The Recipe
- Buy a tin whistle in D from the nearest music shop: it is the cheapest real instrument there is.
- Learn the fingering for one simple, well-known tune from a single tab or lesson.
- Play it slowly, wrong notes and all, until you can get from the start to the end.
- Play it once more at something like the right speed.
