🎄 Learn *Silent Night* on the **tin whistle** in the Irish tradition with Kirsten Allstaff, flute player, whistle instructor, and co-founder of the Online Academy of Irish Music (OAIM).
Use the chapters to navigate through the different sections:
00:00 Introduction
01:12 First phrase

This is the first free lesson from our brand-new course, **Traditional Christmas Carols**, where you’ll learn eight timeless carols on tin whistle or flute — complete with beautifully arranged classical-guitar backing tracks by Chris Wood (designed to echo the warmth of the Irish harp).
✨ Beginner-friendly carols in the course:
• Silent Night
• Noel Nouvelet
• O Come, O Come Emmanuel
• The Sussex Carol
• The Angel Gabriel from Heaven Came
🎵 More advanced carols:
• Greensleeves
• The Wexford Carol
• The Coventry Carol
Whether you play tin whistle, flute, fiddle, concertina, banjo — or any traditional instrument — these lessons and backing tracks are suitable for all levels.
You’ll develop:
• Learning by ear
• Ornamentation for slow airs
• Tone, breathing, and phrasing
• Half-holing and key techniques
By the end, you’ll have a full set of Irish-style Christmas carols ready to play for family and friends — along with a deeper connection to the stories and melodies behind them.
Access notation, ABCs, multi-speed backing tracks, and more
