Over the past year I've received a few requests to provide tablature with the sheet music I provide with my lessons. In the past when I've done this - as in my foundational Irish flute and tin whistle courses - I would have to crack open Adobe Illustrator and import my sheet music into that... The end result looked great but the process was time consuming!

So that I might be able to better meet the needs of students who don't read music notation and are on the front end of learning by ear, I designed "Tin Whistle Tab" font with the help of type designer & engineer Silas Dilworth. Then, to make the process of adding the tab to my scores quick and painless, new friend & Sibelius ninja Bob Zawalich stepped in and created a plugin called "Tin Whistle Fingering".

Bob and I decided to make both the font and Sibelius plugin available free of charge. Enjoy!
