How to learn to whistle with my fingers
It made me
COOL!
 "practice, practice, practice"
How I did it: I simply kept trying, putting my fingers and tongue in different positions. One day noise came out. I found that for me it is easiest if I press my tongue behind my lower teeth. Loop my thumb and middle finger - just barely touching - and press into center of tongue. Curl upper lip over top teeth. Bite down onto fingers. Blow out from the diaphram.

How I did it: I found a video on youtube and within minutes I was whistling! I am still far from mastering it but now I can say that I can! I have always wanted to do it since I was little. I was surprised that youtube helped me as much as it did because I have had lots of people try and teach me how to do it and it had never helped one bit. Read how I did it…

I looked on YouTube and found that there’s as many ways to whistle as there are whistlers. However I did find one method that I am able to occasionally belt one out with. I’ll take this off my list when I’m consistent.
did I just do this?

I was just sitting here debating removing this goal. I have a few things I’d like to add to my list and this seemed easy enough to give up. Of course I couldn’t give up without trying one last time and I just did it!
Now I need to leave it up to make sure it’s repeatable. But now I have a new hope so I’m not going to give up.
I guess I have to get around to actually accomplishing some of these things rather than trolling my list for things to give up.
no....

Almost two years later and I still haven’t improved beyond “airport taxiing sound” with a faint barely there whistle. :(
Tink is pleased with her progress.
Clearly this is learnable, but for now...

Figured I’d get started on this, so, I looked up some videos on youtube. I learned a couple of the techniques and chose one I liked, tried it for a bit and managed to get one really loud whistle off! Need to practice in a bit until I can do it again, right now I’m feelin’ pretty lightheaded, lol.
oh golly

I was able to do it once!
But I can’t re-create what I did.
Back to the drawing board…

I think its time I started working on some of my short term goals, even if it means practicing until I’m lightheaded and dizzy!
