Teach yourself whistle : 'a great resource'
Teach yourself whistle : 'a great resource'
I found <a href="http://www.cs.tcd.ie/~mcintyrp/Assignme ... .swf">this site</a> : learn to play the whistle on your own with help from the internet.
I posted it to another thread in reply to a specific question and already some comments came in :
'A great resource" (Bro Steve)
'Somebody put a lot of work into that" (Jerry Freeman)
I think this deserves it's own thread.
Enjoy.

Once you've become an expert in something it takes a lot of smarts to go back and teach the fundamentals. Whoever put this together (Peter??) didn't leave out the fact that beginners have trouble remembering finger positions for the notes. I love it. Except for the whistle sounds. Bit raspy I'd say. But then again, the beginner doesn't feel discouraged that his Generation doesn't soudn like the recording. In this case his Generation sounds BETTER!

It's inspiring! I'm thinking of doing a poetry site now. I think I'll have every word in the English language recorded, maybe by those phone company people, stored in a data base, and then linked to each word in a poem so you could get a really good dramatic reading of it. You know, for the nuances which you can't really pick up from just reading a poem....
Whaddya think?

I think that some of the poets that I've heard read their work didn't sound much different than your poem database would sound.cskinner wrote:Whaddya think?

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!
