Lessons Pennywhistle

THE MAJOR SCALE
The Black Dots represent covered holes. Use the left hand on the top three holes, right hand on the bottom three. Pinkies can hold on to the flute. Use padding of fingers and press firmly. Blow harder for higher sound (octave). The name Penny whistle came to be, they say, because people tossed pennies to the player.
Enjoy! And God Bless!

Under the whistle diagram below you will see HH1:This means cover half the hole of number 1

This is a half hole, or half note. Also known as a sharp or a flat. It will be found in Yankee Doodle, Happy Birthday, and Green Sleeves and the Titanic theme. Known on the lesson as HH1.

To play natural minor, start on 'RE', number 5, and go up the scale to this half note, known once again as 'HH1',
