13 year old Yodel Star Taylor Ware

Published by at 12:46 pm under random

Can’t say I’ve ever been particularly endeared to yodelling, but this caught my eye on Servant of Chaos – What the Hoff.

Taylor Ware was 11 (or 12) when she was a finalist on America’s Got Talent in 2006.

At age 7 she got a yodeling instruction book and tape while attending a music convention with a friend. She fell in love with yodeling. Taylor had never even heard of yodeling, and would not have ever tried it if not for this yodeling seminar given by Margo Smith. Taylor taught herself how to yodel using the instructional book and tape.

At the age of 9 she won the Yahoo! Yodel Challenge National Championship. What an amazing talent in such a young girl!

I showed my four year old, and now she’s walking around yodelling – what have I done? 😮

    She is awesome but not something I would listen to everyday … she looks the part too.

    Babyamore – I agree, not something I’d choose to listen to regularly, but that’s not to say I don’t appreciate the ability…

    Frogdancer – oops, sorry mate! Hope they tired quickly 😉

    Bettina – Isn’t she? That can’t be easily. Hoff was classic!

    Oh dear, she could be yodeling for years if I am anything to go by. I was enamored by the Chalet School books when young – set in a boarding school in Switzerland. I was often heard to be yodelling or singing Eidelweiss and slapping my thighs. The Sound of Music was obviously a favorite of mine too :-)

    When I was a kid, my mother really loved Mary Schneider who had a number of yodelling records out (remember vinyl?). The constant playing gave me an appreciation of the yodel — so when I saw this I was amazed.

    Now, I am off to see if there are any youtube clips of Sueblimely yodelling 😉
