How To Do Advanced Whistling

Hello there, I'm David Morris. In 2003, I went to America and I won the title World Champion Whistler, and I'm here today to hopefully help you improve your whistling. How to do advanced whistling.

Okay, we've started the beginning on how to whistle, how to whistle a note, how to whistle a scale, we've got all these on other videos. So now, how to become an advanced whistling soloist? You've got to establish a range, a register which is convenient for you, which suits you and so we've got that, and then try on whistle something a little bit quick. Try and get the tongue to move, to waggle inside your mouth and produce some quick notes for example, with a bit of volume, something like that.

That's what we call double tonguing, okay. So we've got that and then we can waggle the tongue even quicker to perform something like the Flight of the Bumblebee, something like that. And then of course, we've got something like the Monti Czardas.

So, the difference between the semiquavers and triplet semiquavers, how do we do that? Right, well, the both are done by the tongue. For example, to create the tunes of the fourths semiquavers, we have to go something like that. I'm waggling the tongue very quickly in either group of two, “hurdle hurdle hurdle” or “hurdle hurdle hurdle hurdle,” a group of four.

In triplets, you've got to get the three obviously, so “hurdler hurdler hurdler”. And that's how to do advanced whistling. .
