RE: Pitchperfect week 8: “Femayle Saylor” (cover)
Whaaaaat? You're amazing with the flute, the two times I've heard you I feel it's difficult to play that instrument by breathing, I loved it

Thank you! The Tinwhistle (or Pennywhistle) is an older relative of the flute; all the fingerings transfer over, so it is easy enough to swap between them. 🙂 Breath control for playing a flute is actually not that different from breath control with singing. Good posture, keeping your air stream supported from your diaphragm is all necessary to a good tone.
The Tinwhistle is challenging sometimes, because it doesn’t require as much air as a flute, and a lot of the breath control goes into holding back and regulating your natural air stream. 😛 Sometimes I gasp a bit at the end of a long song because my lungs want to breathe normally, lol.
I am happy you enjoyed the song! 🙂
