Top Tips For Whistling

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

“A guide to whistling tips”. First of all, take good breaths from the diaphragm. Form an “O” shape with your lips and blow through that aperture in the lips, (whistling).

You'll feel a vibration in the back of your throat at the same time.

For low notes, make sure that the tongue is very low in the mouth, (whistling)… this makes the jaw drop slightly; it makes the aperture bigger and it makes for a lower note. The opposite for the higher notes, make sure the tongue goes higher in the roof of the mouth and the aperture will become smaller. (Whistling)… also for higher notes, just pull in the corners of the mouth slightly.

Now, for more advance whistlers who want to perform really technical pieces which includes, double tonguing or triple tonguing, for example, “The flight of the bumblebee”, (whistling)… something like that, the tongue is waggling about inside the mouth while all the notes change. For double tonguing for example in “The William Tell” overture (whistling) something like that, is waggling about. Huddle, huddle, huddle, something like that.
