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!

It's Pleasant to Run in Full Moon
(Pearl Nye)

It's pleasant to run in full moon,
When it happens to be month of June;
All's balmy and light
Lazy waters so bright
And the boat sets as though she would spoon.
