If singing is not your biggest strength, try whistling your favorite tunes, songs and melodies. By following the below listed steps you will become an whistler in no time. With a little practice, you learn how to whistle with comfort and ease.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Kazoos
  • Breath Fresheners
  • Celtic Music For Flute & Whistle CD

Step1
Purse your lips into a tiny O shape, leaving a small opening for air.
Step2
Place the tip of your tongue behind your bottom teeth or against your inside bottom gums.
Step3
Gently expel air through your mouth.
Step4
Adjust your tongue position and the small O opening formed by your lips until you hear a note.
Step5
Once you can sound one note, experiment with your tongue position and the strength of your breath to produce different notes.
Step6
Practice!

Tips & Warnings

  • Try not to blow too hard at first; it's much easier to whistle with a small amount of air.
  • You may find it easier to produce a strong, pure note if you wet your lips first.

on 1/5/2008 My husband's grandmother told him when he was a little boy that he could whistle if he drank buttermilk. He believed her cause his grandfather was always whistling and he wanted to be like him. He decided after trying buttermilk it wasn't worth it. He just would't whistle. Years later, he learned on his own!
