Good Breathing Techniques for Playing Wooden / Irish Flute and Fife
We all get a bit "dry" when playing from time to time, when that happens, we reach for a glass of whatever and take a good pull off it to quench our thirst. Do the same thing when you breathe. Make sure you actually have an intake of air that is sufficient to play the next passage.
Try to fill your lungs and not just your throat with air. You should hear a deep "whoosh" sound when you inhale, not just a brief gasp.

Hi Everybody!
I have just had the great honor of having a cover story published about me in the BASLERSTAB newspaper in Basel, Switzerland which is one of the 2 largest circulation newspapers in the city. Here is a link to the article if you would like to read it. www.baslerstab.ch You can use Google translator on your computer if your German is't up to it! It's a cool article about the various twists in the road that have led me here... Hope you enjoy it!
Hi Everybody,
After far too much thinking, I have added a revised fingering chart for my 10 hole Chromatic system instruments to the site. It may be a bit confusing but it's the best I could come up with, any suggestions for future editions of it are welcome. You will see this "For a 10 hole fingering chart, see this link; http://www.skiphealy.com/chart/" in all sections pertaining to 10 hole instruments. I hope it helps!!
