Pay attention to whistling solos when you come across one! Usually they are a joy to listen to. See what these artists are doing, how they use it, get their vibes, and work on reproducing those solos yourself. Also, check out my article about the 10 best whistling solos for some sweet whistling action. As Always — YouTube can come to your help.

Whether one muscle raises or lowers the pitch of your voice can depend on what the other muscles are doing. Also, these are muscles! They get tired if you use them too much. They change as we grow, learn and age. To give singing a fair chance , we compared it to whistling instead of instruments. Just like singing, whistling makes a continuous range of pitches by passing air over a quivering mass of cells, except that when we whistle, we trade larynx for lips. In the lab, we had people listen to simple melodies then try to sing or whistle the melodies back.
We compared the pitches of target notes with the pitches that people actually sang or whistled. Humans spend hours each day controlling the pitch of their voices — conveying love, sadness and anger.
Despite all this practice, people were closer to the target note when they were whistling. This tells us that the human skill with the voice evolved after our ancestors split from other apes.
These studies also tell us that control over the lips evolved much earlier, and we think that this might explain our findings. It could also be that the larynx is tuned just well enough for speech and for many of us, singing just asks a little too much. The answer is that the voice carries a lot more information than just high and low pitches.
We use the placement of our lips and tongue to amplify some parts of our voice and dampen others. My sister-in-law asked me to stop several times. The auditorium was in a high school in Louisburg, North Carolina. Everything was overwhelming. There were about 30 contestants — some terrible, some very good. Some people were really, really competitive. It lasted two days — and I won.
The prize was a big trophy covered with American flags and eagles. I had to go through customs with three trophies: one for classical, one for popular and one for grand champion. After that, I started receiving my first invitations to do concerts — mostly classical, accompanied by symphony orchestras, string quartets or, sometimes, just a piano.
I was aware that I was the odd one out on the line-ups, and I had yet to turn professional. Then in , I was asked to whistle in a big church in Leiden by an entertainment company. I knew it would be special — the queen of the Netherlands, Queen Beatrix , would be there.
Normally at a concert there is a little security, but this was another level, with sniffer dogs. A lot of the performers, who included musicians and ballet dancers, were pretty nervous.
