Interviewing Ryan Duns pt 3/3

Here goes the third and last part of the interview, It was a pleasure to have the oportunity to do it!

Whistler Bard: What gave you the idea/inspiration to start posting whistle lessons on youtube?

Ryan Duns: I was teaching a course at Fordham University and needed a way to help my students. YouTube was free.

WB: How did you get the sound you have on your videos (software,settings, delay etc.) ?

RD: I use an iMac computer so I run things through iMovie. The effects are used, usually, in order to block out the sounds of New York traffic and construction.

WB: Have you seen these other online sites, and what do you think of them? ( http://www.whistletutor.com/ and http://tradlessons.com/ )

RD: I think they are doing a good job. I'm glad there's such an interest in teaching the whistle.
