How the Tinwhistle Helps You Learn Mandarin

March 22, 2007 · 1 Comment

Scientists have evidence that playing a musical instrument sharpens your hearing, which can be particularly beneficial when learning a foreign language with tones. No doubt this is a helpful thing if you’re aiming to tackle the Chinese language, but I’d be curious to know what other advantages there are. Just curious, you know. It’s not as if I need any other excuse to toot my tinwhistle.
