Digital Tradition Mirror

This notation is pretty simple; dark circles mean covered holes; empty circles mean uncovered holes; a '+' below means to blow harder to get the upper octave; a '#' below means this note is too low for the whistle chosen and you'll have to fake it :) The author of this program always plays accidentals by closing holes, so you'll never see half-covered holes.

When I was starting, I found notation like this to be very helpful, and I know plenty of people who have trouble reading music who find this notation easier. Good luck!

Joy Upon This Earth
(Charles Seeger, Fred Holland)

1.   Oh, joy upon this Earth to live and see the day
2.   When Rockefeller, Senior, shall up to me and say,
3.   "Comrade, can you spare a dime?"
