Was just going to post this in the whistle forum but everyone might find it useful. One of the things I’ve been having difficulty with while learning the whistle for the last couple of months is reading music. Having played guitar for 11 years, and spent all of that using guitar tab, it’s really frustrating trying to read the lessons from a musical stave. But as that was one of the reason I chose an instrument so different to the guitar, to learn to read music, I figure it’s something I just need to get past.
So tonight I tried digging round the internet for some software to help me and I found this great little interactive quiz program:

I also found this program to help with training the ear:

Both are completely free so I thought I’d share them with you guys and see if anyone else finds them useful.
