• Close the index and middle fingers of each hand, while keeping the thumb holding the other two fingers.
• Turn the hand so that the thumb is facing you, touch the middle fingers together to create an "A" shape.

Try using your little finger. Second finger pose is a little easier.

• Poke out the little finger from each hand and hold the other fingers with your thumb.
• Turn your hand so that the thumb is facing you, touch the little fingers together to create an "A" shape.

Whistling stars with one hand. You can also whistle using fingers on one hand.

• Pinch your thumb and index finger or thumb and middle finger together to create an O shape, whichever way you feel most comfortable.
• Whistling with any hand is fine, but you will find it easier to use your dominant hand, at least in the beginning.

Part 2 of 2: Whistling Practice

1. 

   Lip shaping. The first thing to do is moisten your lips so that it's "easy to whistle". Then, pull the lips towards the teeth, mimicking the mouth of the old person with gum disease. The key to whistling with your hands is to keep your lips covered with your teeth.

2. 

   
   
   Place your finger under the tip of your tongue. Whatever finger pose you use, you must place your fingertips under the tip of your tongue.

3. 

   Push your tongue inward. Use your fingers to push the tip of the tongue inwards so that 1/4 of the tongue rolls in. Push until the first knuckle touches the lower lip.

4. 

   Press your lips tightly around your fingers. This step is very important for a clear and high whistle. There should be no gaps around your fingers, but your lips should be tight except for a hole in between your fingers. That's where the sound comes out.

5. 

   
   
   Blow. Now that everything is in place, you have nothing to do but blow! First, blow gently, making sure the air just passes through your fingers. If you see air escaping somewhere else, close it. At the same time, make sure the blade doesn't pop up and cover the air outlet, otherwise the sound won't escape.
   • When you hear the sound of a bottle blowing, it means you are about to do it. Blow harder - this will make you sound higher.

6. 

   Practice. Manual whistling doesn't work, you need to practice, experiment with finger styles, different angles and adjust the position of the lips and tongue. In the end, you will find the "optimal score" for a clear and crisp whistle. Enjoy the results! advertisement

Advice

• Don't be discouraged if you can't do it the first time. This technique can be difficult to perform at first. Just keep practicing!
• Moving the tip of the tongue close to the upper jaw while blowing will produce a higher whistle.
• Some people may find this difficult to do, especially those with broken teeth, open teeth, using dentures or braces. Don't get discouraged - be patient with yourself, and above all, entertaining! Look in the mirror and make adjustments as needed. If you can't whistle, then looking at your face during practice is enough to be funny!
• Remember to practice in a place where there are no people. You don't want to drive your friends and loved ones crazy because you practice whistling.
• Wash your hands before whistling to avoid bacteria getting into your mouth. Wait for your hands to dry, then practice whistling.
• Do not place your finger directly under or lean against the tongue, keep it on the side of the tongue.
• When you whistled (with two fingers in each hand), make an A and adjust the angle of your finger, the larger the lung capacity, the better the sound - practice regularly, don't give up !

Warning

• If you can't do it at first, don't try to make it work. Continuous breathing can lead to shortness of breath and dizziness. If you feel a bit dizzy, stop for a few minutes before continuing!
• Make sure to wash your hands well before exercising.
