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!

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt
His name is my name, too, God forbid
And whenever we go out, we can hear the people shout
There goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt
da da da da da da da da

...
Whenever we go in, the happy people grin
...

repeat ad nauseum
