Teaching material to get new whistlers started 

I used this document to get one group started - it is more of a take-home

Here is the D scale on whistle, with sharps and flats shown (half-hole method) 

If you are a new whistler, this tutorial is very good, too!

Starter Tunes 

These stay safely in the lower octave, but you can play 'em high, too!

Alleluia - Only 4 notes, counting more complex (midi) (recording)

Mary Had a Little Lamb - 4 notes, and one of the best-known tunes around. (midi)

God Is So Good - Starts low with only 5 notes (midi)

Peace Like A River - 6 notes of the lower octave, in a well-known traditional song. (midi)

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star - Uses all 7 notes of the lower octave, in a nice simple tune. (midi)

London Bridge - A well-known tune, with slightly more complex rhythm. (midi)

Advanced Beginner Tunes

These include higher D, at the top of the first octave

Amazing Grace - Uses most of scale, including higher D (midi)

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing - Gorgeous whistle tune, written in 1813 (midi)

Jesus Loves Me - Longer, but simple tune that hits the higher D (midi)

Row, Row, Row Your Boat - Also makes a fun round. (midi)

Kookaburra - An Australian folk song about the Kookaburra, a snake-eating bird. (midi)

The King of Love My Shepherd Is - Psalm 23, set to "St. Columba," a pretty Irish Melody. This tune is good to learn, then add ornamentation as the whistler advances.  (midi)

Intermediate Tunes

Starting to use notes in the upper octave

Auld Lang Syne - Guy Lombardo missed out on hearing us play this one! Ventures up to E. (midi)

Awake, Awake To Love and Work - Beautiful minor-mode melody from the Kentucky Harmony, 1815. Lots of octave changes and upper octave work. (midi)

Be Thou My Vision - Splendid hymn, to a traditional Irish tune, more complex 2nd octave. (midi)

Scarborough Fair - Very pretty English folk tune, popularized by Simon & Garfunkel. (midi)

Gettin' Tricky

Complex rhythms, half-holed sharps or flats, and other fun stuff

Ash Grove - Pretty Welsh melody, used for several hymns (e.g. Let All Things Now Living). Mostly upper octave, with a G# thrown in for interest, and a one-octave jump. (midi)

O, the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus - One of my all-time favorite tunes. At the right tempo, has a sea-shanty feel that goes perfectly with the words!  (midi)

Greensleeves - Most of two octaves, sneaky sharps. Dangerously addicting! (midi)

Load of Hay - This traditional Polka really moves! (midi)

Southwind - Beautiful Irish Air in G, a gentle introduction to C-Natural (midi)

Trumpet (Whistle?) Voluntary - Fancy trills and lots of octave changes. (midi)

Whistling Tell Overture - aka "The Lone Whistler" when played too late at night! (midi)
