We're on Patreon! Support us?

Why TinWhistler is on Patreon:










Hi! TinWhistler will always be a free YouTube channel. We've been posting Irish/Celtic music videos for 10 years now, and we wish to continue doing so... forever!

If you'd like to contribute to TinWhistler, you'll be helping us get new instruments, new equipment... and food! lol In short, you'll be ensuring that TinWhistler continues to exist for many more years. So, you can give us support on our Patreon page, here: www.patreon.com/TinWhistler Thank you!

This video (2014) shows a little bit of what we've been doing for 10 years now on YouTube, since we were kids:


Info: You may not know what Patreon is. It's a website that helps musicians and creators continue to make their creations, by getting "patrons" who economically help every month the artists they love. So it's like an ongoing crowdfunding campaign. Basically, many artists can't make a living off of their art, which is indeed our case, and Patreon is a way for fans to help their favorite artists make this possible.

In our case, you would contribute for every YouTube video we post (it can be $1 per video, or $5, or $10, or anything you want). Of course, you can set a maximum for every month so that, in case we went crazy one month and posted a hundred videos (lol), you wouldn't pay too much!

Learn whistle tunes and technique

"Do you teach? I want to take lessons!"

Sorry, private whistle lessons are no longer available for now, BUT you can become a member of the TinWhistler channel (or a patron on Patreon) to learn whistle tunes with sheet music / tabs (showing ornaments, etc.), videos of PJ playing slowly and live video-chats with him! (Depending on the member level. Please check out all the available levels).

Here's an example (beginner version) of the videos that you'll have access to every month if you become our YouTube member or Patreon patron at the "Watch & Learn" member level:
