<div>In the context of this entry, Artwhistling can be seen as whistling of a high professional quality. If heard by chance it would be very difficult to determine whether it is whistling, or indeed, a wind instrument being played in a� "beauteous" manner. Improvised Artwhistling is another dimension which like Improvised Voice Instrumental Music is to a large extent uncharted waters. It may gain�greater credence in time if the right performer, or performers appear. However, there is much material on Non-Improvised Artwhistling, or "good" melodic <var></var>whistling in general.</div>
<div>�</div>
<div>What is perhaps surprising is that many people find it difficult, if not impossible to whistle well. As such whistling per se for "musical" entertainment should be seen as a serious, and credible musical exercise which is not easy as it may appear. The following is from Wikipedia...</div>
<div>�</div>
<div>........many performers on the <a title="Music hall" href="http://uk.mg40.mail.yahoo.com/wiki/Music_hall" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">music hall</a> and <a title="Vaudeville" href="http://uk.mg40.mail.yahoo.com/wiki/Vaudeville" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vaudeville</a> circuits were professional whistlers, the most famous of which were <a title="Ronnie Ronalde" href="http://uk.mg40.mail.yahoo.com/wiki/Ronnie_Ronalde" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ronnie Ronalde</a> and <a title="Fred Lowery" href="http://uk.mg40.mail.yahoo.com/wiki/Fred_Lowery" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fred Lowery</a>. Both had several notable songs featuring whistling.</div>
<div>Pucker whistling is the most common form of whistling used in most Western music. Typically, the tongue tip is lowered, often placed behind<var></var> the lower teeth, and pitch altered by varying the position of the <a title="Tongue" href="http://uk.mg40.mail.yahoo.com/wiki/Tongue" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tongue</a>. In particular, the point at which the tongue body approximates the <a title="Palate" href="http://uk.mg40.mail.yahoo.com/wiki/Palate" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">palate</a> varies from near the <a title="Palatine uvula" href="http://uk.mg40.mail.yahoo.com/wiki/Palatine_uvula" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">uvula</a> (for low notes) to near the <a title="Alveolar ridge" href="http://uk.mg40.mail.yahoo.com/wiki/Alveolar_ridge" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">alveolar ridge</a> (for high notes). Although varying the degree of pucker will change the pitch of a pucker whistle, expert pucker whistlers will generally only
make small variations to the degree of pucker, due to its tendency to affect purity of tone. Pucker whistling can be done by either only blowing out or blowing in and out alternately . In the ' only blow out' method , a consistent tone is achieved but a negligible pause has to be taken to breathe in. In the alternating method there is no problem of breathlessness or interruption as breath is taken when one whistles breathing in . But a disadvantage of this method is that many a times , the consistency of tone is not maintained and it fluctuates.</div>
<div>Many expert musical palatal whistlers will substantially alter the position of the lips to ensure a good quality tone. Venetian gondoliers are famous for moving the lips while they whistle in a way that can look like singing. A good example of a palatal whistler is <a title="Luke janssen" href="http://uk.mg40.mail.yahoo.com/wiki/Luke_janssen" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Luke Janssen</a> winner of the 2009 <a href="http://www.whistlingiwc.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">world whistling competition</a>.</div>
<div>The term <i><a title="Puccalo" href="http://uk.mg40.mail.yahoo.com/wiki/Puccalo" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">puccalo</a></i> refers to highly skilled <a title="Jazz" href="http://uk.mg40.mail.yahoo.com/wiki/Jazz" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">jazz</a> whistling.</div>
<div>The most significant whistling competition is run by the <a href="http://www.whistlingiwc.com/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">International Whistlers Convention</a> in North Carolina, UA. Held every year (recently every other has been in other countries), it brings together whistlers from all over the world who battle for the crown of 'International Grand Champion'</div>
