Two Octave Jump Exercises for Low and High Whistles and Why This Skill is Important

Playing the second octave on our low and high whistles is an important skill for us to develop. This is a very important skill for us to develop.
One of the first challenges when we are learning to play our whistles is learning to play the second octave. Learning to play the top notes in the second octave and learning to play them well is a continuing challenge even for intermediate players.
I provide these exercises to help us work on and develop these skills. In addition to the exercises I provide five specific examples of instances where we need to play from the first to the second octave, or the second to the first octave, in tunes. This transition occurs much more frequently than we might imagine. This is why this is such an important skill for us to develop.
My desire is for us to learn through exercises to play well enough that we do not need to learn new skills when we approach a new tune.

Well played, well played.

I’ve heard there are alternative options for the third octave D to make it smoother, but can’t remember where…

[@LowDWhistle]

That would be nice. I’ll search around. Thanks
