I’ve discovered a most pleasing method of practising new tunes in a most pleasant environment. Soaking in a bath tub is the venue and keeping the sheet music both dry and at eye level were the problems that I’ve recently had to solved.
DRY IDEA: I usually print out the music notation for a tune that I’m working on and cut the standard sheet of paper down to fit a 6 1/2" X 9" rigid plastic page protector. I then get out the old trusty Sticky Tak and pinch off a small piece to attach the music to the wall near the tub faucet.
Sink down into the sudsy water and play away!
You can’t beat the acoustics in there!!!

I play in the bathroom with the shower running and it really makes all my whistles sound great. You can take the scratchiest/screechiest sounding whistle and play it with the shower running and the “white noise” from the shower smooths out all the rough edges.
I have a theory that this also happens to some extent when playing in a session with other instruments. A whistle may sound too piercing/screechy when playing alone, but may be fine in a session.
