Actually, yodeling is easier to learn if you DO write out the syllables and go over the tune just as if you were learning actual lyrics. I think that's really the key to a skill some people think you either have or you don't. (Although I know there are many among us who wouldn't consider yodeling a skill, but a curse. I, personally, take some pride in it. But, like banjo playing, it's important to know when and where to contribute it to the musical mix.)WyoWoman
