Why you should join a whistling ensemble

1. Creating harmonic music with others is a transcendental experience
2. Working with others forces you to listen more carefully and pay attention to your tuning, rhythm and tone. This deepens your appreciation for music and makes you improve.
3. Having a deeper appreciation for music will add to the pleasure you experience every day.
4. Improving at something so worthwhile will give you pride and a sense of accomplishment.
5. Working with others to make music will help you learn to work better with others in other contexts.
6. They say developing musical ability improves your mathematical abilities.
7. When whistling with a group, you develop your breathing (this also applies to singing and playing a wind instrument) , giving you many of the benefits of yoga practice while having more fun.
8. Every now and then you get to dress up and perform somewhere, probably to thunderous applause, maybe even a standing ovation. Who couldn't use that?
