5.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe how much fun yodeling is!, April 14, 2003

I don't even remember why I wanted to learn how to yodel, but now that I can do it fairly well, I wouldn't trade it for anything (well, maybe for a few things). It is such a freeing activity...and, surprisingly, people like to listen (it's the perfect "random talent" to have). I work with kids at my church, and almost every Sunday one of them will ask me to yodel.

I was a bit skeptical about the prospects of learning from a CD, but it has worked quite well. I listened to it a lot driving across country last summer, just singing back the exercises, and by the time I finished my road trip, I could break my voice with ease, and I was already able to do some of the simpler yodels with some measure of competency.

I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who wants to release some stress and learn a new talent...you can't take yourself too seriously when you're yodeling. It's guaranteed to make you smile!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Part of the Trip, June 30, 2006

This review is from: U 2 Can Yodel (Audio CD)

A friend and I were traveling north and we listened to Bluegrass, Jeff Foxworthy, and other "interesting" genres. The last 2 hours of the trip Sarah said, I have a CD I think you'll like (or that she wanted us to listen to). Ok. (It's her car!)

I was driving the last leg and I'm focusing on the highway and ... someone is yodeling like a chicken... I'm pretty sure my mouth was gaping for 10--15 seconds and I looked over at Sarah...and started laughing. She told me when she was younger her family was listening to the radio and she and a couple of her brothers and sisters would sit for hours trying to yodel with the radio. Her mother just bought the cd for her and so we listened to ALLLLLL of it. Every lesson. Just when you think there can't be one more thing to learn, there is!

It was THE BEST part of the trip. We turned it up as we went through the toll booths and told the attendants, "At least we're not drunk!"

I told the story to a family I know who has Norwegian roots and the mother said, "I was the family yodeler!" I'm buying this cd for myself, to remember the fun I had and buying one as a gift for this family.

If you need a good laugh, I'd say this is it. Also, I guess if you REALLY want to learn how to yodel, it seemed to be pretty good at that too. Our throats were a tad...stressed after 2 hours (I'm pretty sure I asked her to play "the chicken man yodel" about 10 times at least.

4.0 out of 5 stars If You Gotta Yodel, This is the Way to Go!, September 30, 1999

This is a great way to get started yodeling. If you really work at it, you will learn the secret joy and tranquility that comes with the territory. But be forewarned: it doesn't come easy, and in your early efforts, work at it some place in private. Your friends and loved ones will appreciate it. Come out in public when you can make some good music. And if you can make yodel music as good as this guy, I want to hear it!
