Answer #1

Steps:

  1. Open your mouth slightly and keep it open.
  2. Use the tip of your tongue to find the ridge on the roof of your mouth.
  3. Put the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth, in front of (closer to your teeth) that ridge.
  4. Flatten your whole tongue until it reaches that ridge.
  5. Take the tip of your tongue from the roof of your mouth so that it is close to touching but not quite.
  6. Keep the rest of your tongue where it is, touching the roof.
  7. Experiment with moving the whole system around a little, but keep the main structure the same.
  8. If you do it right, then when you blow out through that system you will notice a hole between your tongue and the roof of your mouth, and a whistling noise!
  9. Move the system around and make it comfortable, that usually helps the tone quality.
  10. Experiment and practice, practice, practice!

Warnings:

  • You probably won’t get it right the first time.
  • Try not to face your computer screen or your friend when you practice this as you may end up spitting all over.
