i ibeen on my whistle now for about 8 months and am using grey larsens whistle books. they are very good but i really feel the need for instructions on the finer points of rhythm , articulations and general playing practice. Plus it would be an added bonus if i could be taught music theory .
Do you ever go to any sessions around sydney- I cant think of any purely whistle players but there are a fair few people who play other things and the whitsle as well. Maybe email
" late in the evening " throught this website - he plays flute and whistle - not sure if he's taking students but he would know who would do.
There are a few session quite near you as well - Newtown, Paddington etc.
Looks like we are in for another huge storm - are we allowed to be on the interent? Or is it like being on the phone?
Beebs you big frady cat!! Just cuddle up on the couch with a nice 80's coming of age comedy and a pillow to block out the view of the lightning from the window :p
Are ye and the papa C up for some tunes tommorrow night?
aye. i go up to kelly's everyonce in a while. tis a good ite up there. some of the players seem to be very proficient. lost of fiddles and concertinas.
thanx for the reply. i ahve had a few offers from this site already.
and yes. it's fine to use the net while tere is s storm, unless you have a metal keyboard that is.
You know what? You could get many, many, many Toohey's Olds under your belt, and then head out to the Cross on Saturday night. You'll whistle at anything, trust me. You know you're good when people stop yeliing back at you and start going home with you. That's certainly how I learnt to whistle in Sydney, before promptly being sick in the gutter somewhere on William Street.
bb, the storm's just hit me here in Castle Hill. Just keep heading west where nothing ever happens, weather included...

Hi Jay,
You know what? You could get many, many, many Toohey's Olds under your belt, and then head out to the Cross on Saturday night. You'll whistle at anything, trust me.
