How to Play Row, Row, Row Your Boat on the Tin Whistle

Row, Row, Row Your Boat is a round you can learn on the tin whistle, set in D major (6/8, around 120 beats per minute). It uses 6 distinct notes, ranging from D5 up to D6 — all within the D whistle’s range.

First-octave round in D (D5 up to D6); the 'merrily' run is the only leap.
