what would be a funny thing to teach my 5 y/o niece?
I'm visiting extended family for the first time in a long time, and one of my nieces has reached the impressionable age where she keeps mimicking things that she sees me do. what's a really funny but fairly harmless thing I should teach her to do?
If you know how, teach her how to whistle real high using the fingers on top of the tongue. One way is by making an O with the thumb and the index finger, bending/rolling your tongue backwards a bit and pressing your fingers against it.
I did for like a decade. I'd still play, but I was never as good as my peers, and that shit's expensive.
It still took a long time to nail the exact movements down, after I made the sound accidentally a couple times. There's no resonance to rely on the way you can for low brass, at least.
