How to Play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the Tin Whistle

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is a nursery you can learn on the tin whistle, set in D major (4/4, around 60 beats per minute). It uses 6 distinct notes, ranging from D5 up to B5 — all within the D whistle’s range.

First two lines only: 'Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are.' Transposed to D major so every note lies inside the D whistle's first octave.

The interactive sheet music below shows a fingering chart under every note. Press Practice to play along while the app listens to your microphone and tracks your place in the score note by note, or print a clean copy of the score and fingering reference.
