Wow, this is the first time I've understood the cran!

[wimgoedheer]

So great to hear everything demonstrated in The Foggy Dew. It enhances its characteristics so much. Thanks for the thorough explanation and demonstration of the techniques.

[hristostoikov]

Excellent techniques and tricks. Dear Stephanie,

[Lonewhistler]

I really love this lesson. You should do this all the time.( putting decorations notes in with your tabs) Your my whistle hero. You go girl.🤣🤣❤️❤️🎼

[thedindon]

I’m already playing much better because of this lesson!

[BB-pnqv]

Thank you! Would love more lesson focused vids

[nancyworld]

Also, it is such a help for the beginner to see the ornaments notated on the tabs. I haven't gotten the hang of adding ornaments yet. Being able to practice them like this will give me a boost. 🎉

This is definitely something that will help to make my playing sound more interesting! Always wondered how you do it so effortlessly. Thank you!! xx ❤❤

[tobysmurf]

I love to use GHB embellishments on the whistle. Thank you for showing the "right" Ornamentations on it.

[markcgolf]

Boah ! YOu are SUCH an EXCELLENT teacher i have never had these explained so beautifully and it's quite hard some like the cran 👏👏👏👏

[Nicolezyx]

Thank you soo much Stephanie, you are such an Inspiration, excellent Tutorial 🎼🎶💜🎶💚🎶🎼💙🎼💜💐

[JackyHeijmans]

Thank you so much! And also for playing Chris' whistle again, I so prefere the sound of that whistle over the Lir or any of the others. 🥰 Still waiting for mine, but I saw on his site that he stopped taking new orders till he is back on track with it. I'm glad I was in time to order, I truely love his whistles! Thank you so much for teaching us, Stef, you are awesome! I let the adds run so you get payed a bit over that. I hear if we let them run for 30 seconds, you get a whole of 6 cents for that? Do you get more if we watch longer, like 2 minutes? Or is the 6 cents it, no matter what? Just wondering. Have a beautiful evening/day! Much, much love from me, and a big hug! ❤🤗

Love the content, been looking to find tutorial for Arms of the angels by Sarah McLachlan. Unfortunately not found one, would love it if you could do you.

[lifeofandrewlynn]

Great video, as always. Its funny, I'm a brass musician (mostly tuba). I have a hard time not tonguing all the time due to those brass habits. I do the tongue cut more than do a regual cut

[ubizmo]

I use a slow half-holing to do a fall-off (except on D, of course).

[paulinelittlewood]

Lovely mellow sound, what are you playing?

[Chris_the_Muso]

Yeah beautiful. I'm working on my vibrato at the moment. I have two methods - diaphragm and throat. Diaphragm sounds better, but if (when) my diaphragm isn't cooperating on the note I can switch to throat very easily. Slower tunes really benefit from vibrato and other ornamentation.

I'm they guy sending you notation transcripts of some of your tutes by the way. I know the user name was probably confusing you. YouTube switched from using real names to user names in comments a while back (except for chat in live streams for some reason).

Poderia colocar legenda em português? Por favor!

[cobaltjones]

I like the way you pronounce "reverb". riVERB.
