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!

Dirty Old Man

Dirty old man he played one
Taught me how to have some fun
  With a nick nack paddy wack
  Give your dog a bone
Now I can not 'ere go home

Two
He taught me just what to do

Three
Now he's playing with my knee

Four
Now we're laying on the floor

Five
Now the bee is in the hive
Six
Taught me how to do some tricks

Seven
Now I'll never get to heaven

Eight
Taught me how to masturbate

Nine
Now I do it all the time

Ten
Time for us to start again
