It also includes introductory and explanatory text.<\/p>\n<p>The recordings feature a metronome click in the left channel and Grey playing tin whistle in the right channel. Using your left-right balance control, you may control the relative loudness of these two elements, or eliminate either element altogether.<\/p>\n<p>The ability to move various combinations of fingers in precise coordination and synchronization is essential for good tin whistle playing. This ability involves not only combinations of fingers of one hand or the other, but often fingers of both hands.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a beginner, gaining these skills may seem daunting to you, but in time and with practice, such coordination and dexterity will become second nature. If you are an intermediate player, you may wish to use these exercises to improve your finger coordination skills.<\/p>\n<p>These 38 exercises are designed for the development of such finger coordination.

It\u00a0has been augmented in the following ways:<\/p>\n<p>1. The text has been expanded to address additional topics and <strong>adapted to address Irish flute as well as the tin whistle in D<\/strong> (also known as the pennywhistle). Since the standard Irish flute and tin whistle in D share a fingering system, the 38 exercises work for both of these instruments.<\/p>\n<p>2. You no longer have to know how to read music to use these exercises. They are notated in <a href=\"http:\/\/greylarsen.com\/FreeDownloads\/Tablature_System_Explanation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tin whistle and Irish flute tablature<\/a> as well as standard music notation.<\/p>\n<p>3. The accompanying audio files come in two sets, one played on a tin whistle in D and the other on a standard Irish flute in D. You may download either audio file set, or both.<\/p>\n<p>4. A fingering chart for tin whistle and Irish flute is included.<\/p>\n<p>5.
