Ifu00c2u0080youru00c2u0080 whistling skills have been confined to the bathroom and the privacy of your home, it is time for them to break free. This weekend, a musical whistling workshop will teach you how to turn whistling into an art form that can be performed on stage. "The workshop is about whistling and will cover the basics - how it's done, what produces the sound and how to control it. We will also include tips and mention the different types of whistling," says Rigveda Deshpandey, founder and president of the 12-year-old Indian Whistlers' Association (IWA). He will be conducting the workshop with Rajesh Gaikwad, Sheldon D'Souza and Chinmay Gotmare.

The workshop will also teach you how to whistle to a backing track. To learn how to whistle a song, it is important to know both, the tune and the lyrics. "When whistling, you are actually replacing the lyrics with the sound you create," he adds.
Scenes from an earlier workshop
Get your pucker right and soon you could whistle Auld Lang Syne, My Heart will Go On and Yeh Shaam Mastani or even the national anthem.
ON: Sunday, 5 pm to 7 pm
