I thought I'd show everyone what instrument I play. I use a green Clark penny whistle in a D key. The picture below is the closest that I could mind. Mine doesn't have the lettering on it though.
A penny whistle can play just about any song, but it's hard for those of us that don't read sheet music to find tabs for music we actually want to play. This blog is for anyone that wants to learn something other than Irish folk music.

Hey everyone. I just got my birthday present and it's a brand new 12 hole ocarina. It's design is based of The Hobbit. It's surprisingly heavy, and I haven't yet gotten the hang of how to play it. I have a feeling that nothing is easier than the penny whistle, but it's so pretty. I got mine from http://www.stlocarina.com/hobbit.html.

Well, we all made it through Wednesday, that's always a good sign. Today's song is All the Pretty Little Ponies. This song was the lullaby in the newer version of Flicka with Time McGraw. This is just the tune for the lyrics. If you need to hear the timing, you can check out the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deeitJjK7Q0.

So, I thought about continuing the Zelda theme, but I shall save that for another day. I think today, we'll throw in some classic Disney.
That's right, if you've already tried this one without looking for a title, it's Beauty and the Beast by Disney. This is the version that Mrs. Potts sings in the animated film.

This is the lullaby from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time. Arguably one of the most popular games of all time. If you need to hear the timing for this song check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9FeFkMyBIY. There is a slight variation to this version.

For my first song, I chose Concerning Hobbits. I'm almost positive that the main instrument for this piece was a penny whistle. Yes, you can find this song on the internet, but they never seem to add the higher part after the initial run. I hope you enjoy. Leave me a comment with the difficulty and I can add that. Thanks.
Hey everyone, if there's anyone there. The name's Piper. I started playing the Penny Whistle just about a year ago, but I noticed that I couldn't find any tabs for the music I wanted to play, like the Zelda Video game music, it was all for an ocarina, or Disney music. Couldn't find any. So I decided to figure it out myself and write it down. Now I want to share it with anyone who wants to learn something other than Irish Folk Music. So here we go.
