Have you ever heard someone whistling so loudly that attracts everyone’s attention? We will show you how to whistle with your fingers. If you figure it out well, you will be able to whistle loudly, but also high. When you perform, you and other people can learn how to whistle.

Step-by-step explanation: How to whistle with your fingers 

– Extend your tongue.

– Put two fingers (any) to the tip of your tongue. Usually, people put middle fingers or index fingers.
They say you can use even your pinky fingers, but we think that is rather too hard.

– Put your tongue inside, but do not remove your fingers from it.

– Place the tongue just behind the front teeth of the lower jaw.

– Cover the lower teeth with the bottom lip. The pushed back tongue  and tucked lips will create a bevel that will produce a tone when you blow.

– Tighten the lips.

– Leave a small opening on the lips.

– Blow.

– Enjoy while whistling through your fingers. With just a little dedication and little adjustments, you can learn even to produce different tones.

A commanding whistle can be also used in sports, i.e. in training to stop an exercise or in dog training.
