AlonE, is it possible for you to post the Spanish version of your
posts as well as the English translation? You translation program
is sometimes hard to understand. And I think if you misspelled
something in Spanish, it confuses the translator, which makes it
even harder to understand.

If I had the Spanish, I might be able to piece together what you
were trying to say...

I gleaned that this time. But in general, I find myself wondering
what the Spanish was that spawned such unusual English sentences.

AlonE, your links for the sound files are not complete. They are not able to be opened.

It sure did get garbled, didn't it? The generic translators have a devil of a time with dialects and syntax.

Those links don't work for me either. But here's the procedure that did work:

1. Go to www.fasterupload.com
2. Click the Download Files link
3. In the text box that opens, enter the bit after the equals sign in the above links, e.g. F5L09SMWJmRa
4. Click the Download File button
5. Wait 30 seconds for the annoyance delay to countdown
6. Type the displayed anti-bot code in the text box that opens
7. Click the Download File Now button
8. Reward yourself with a nice cup of cocoa for putting up with all that. Mmmm, cocoa ...

AlonE,

He tocado whistle solo por dos anyos ya (asi que, tal vez, hay otros quien peuden dar mejores surgencias). Me parece que tocas bien con respecto al control de sopliento. Tambien el tono es muy agradable. Tocas muy bien por haber tocado solo por quatro mezes.

Me parece gue puedes aprender a tocar con ritmo un poco mejor. ?Tienes algunos libros con CD de solo musica tin whistle como estos?: http://www.bigwhistle.co.uk/shop_result ... rod_id=250 Algunas veces me parece que no conoce bien como debe sonar el cancion, o mejor dicho, como el stilo irelandes debe sonar. Los CD's peuden ayudar con esto, especialmente cuando vives, as como has dicho, en un lugar donde no se encuentra esta musica mucho.

Me discupla, por favor, por mi espanol que es algo flojo y malo (lo llamamos Castellano cuando vivia en el Peru hace veinte anyos). Siga tocando el whistle. Como dije, por haber tocado por solo quatro mezes, has avansado muchisimo.

Buen Suerte.
Keith

Estoy de acuerdo con khl, y diría que tienes grán potencial. Tu sonoridad, intonación y control son destacados. Bravo! El rítmo es demasiado variable; es importantísimo que sea fijo y regular. En algunos casos, las notas mismas que tocas no son correctas para la melodía, lo que pega al oído. Ten cuidado con las fuentes de la música escrita or grabada, que sean exactas.

Lo más sério es que ya no tienes un concepto adecuado de la verdadera ornamentación irlandesa. Lo que haces, con trinos etc., no suena irlandés, y no sirve sino que ruina el rítmo y el tono. Así debes consultar con un recurso como el sitio de Brother Steve para aprender cómo tocar los cuts, taps y rolls esenciales para la music irlandesa. Por ahora, un estilo más sencillo y menos ornamentado sería más útil y auténtico para tu desarrollo.

http://www.rogermillington.com/siamsa/b ... index.html

Se me hace también que hay demasiado reverb en tus mp3s, lo que distraye mucho e impide a escuchar los detalles de tu técnica. En este caso, grabación sin efectos sería mejor.

Bueno, espero que eso te ayuda. Pues adelante! :-)

I agree with khl, and would say you have great potential. Your tone, intonation and control are excellent. Bravo! Your rhythm is too loose; it's very important that it be steady and regular. In a few spots the notes you're playing are the wrong notes for the tune, which is jarring. Be sure your written or recorded sources are accurate.

The most serious problem is that you don't yet have a good concept of real Irish ornamentation. What you're doing with trills, etc. doesn't sound Irish, doesn't work, and basically ruins the rhythm and the tune. You should really take a look at a resource such as Brother Steve's site to learn how to play the cuts, taps and rolls which are essential in Irish music. Meanwhile, a simpler, less ornamented style would be more useful and authentic for your development.

Also, it seems you're using too much reverb on your mp3s. It's pretty distracting and interferes with hearing the details of your technique. In this case, recording without effects would be better.

Well, hope that helps. Keep at it! :-)
