For some reason, our teakettle won’t whistle. It gives more of a whimpy “mmmrrrrrrI’m boiling but I’m too lazy to properly tell you rrrrrrrmmmmm” whirring sound. Poor little guy–probably a clogged sinus or something. I sure know that, if I had a bad nose, I wouldn’t want to whistle everytime my insides rumbled.
I’ve been trying to listen to CD’s of the orchestra music, you know, to get a feel for it, maybe even play along. And I always do really well, until the first page ends. It usually ends at an extended rest or something, and after that, I’m lost like a nomad in Brooklyn. Oh well. My teacher herself said that it doesn’t sound as it looks, though puzzlingly, she suggested that I listen to it. o_0
even function 
We don’t use a teakettle. We’re all water boiler/warmer-uper savvy. Although, teakettles do amusse me, but I attribute that to watching Beauty and the Beast numerous times as a child.
once, i had a teakettle that did that. i found out the whistle wasn’t working when i remembered that i was boiling water and i found that all the water had vaporized. no tea for me.
Stravinsky is never going to be the easiest thing to play along with… get a score. Haha oiseaux de feu. the feu part sounds like fuh pretty much.
l-Wah Zoh de Feuh! :)
I hope your teakettle feels better. Give it my love and some Nyquil.
