Karin, you are braver than myself. I'm a grandpa who started learning to yodel at age 60 (six months ago) and I practice as I drive. I don't plan on putting myself on video just yet. I have found a wide variety of yodels on youtube and I enjoy both Melanie's and Peter Hinnen's renditions of Ku Ku Yodel. This yodel by Franzl Lang is very challenging. Best wishes
Hurrah Karen! Do you notice that your yodel "break" becomes more prominent as you progress? I do. I think it's like excercise...that epiglotis takes on a real "buff". The "breaks" to me become more pronounced, and in fact, more of a pleasure. There's more to yodeling than we know! Thanks so much for continuing to share your progress.
This is great :)

I wonder where can I find the lyrics of this song. I`m learning german but I can`t trasncribe it yet.

I won't transcribe the yodel for you, but the text in between is real easy:
Auf und ab voll Lebenslust
und voll Übermut.
Keinen Kummer in der Brust
und 's Juchhee im Blut.
Auf und ab was kost' die Welt ?
Heut g'hört mir der Tag,
denn es hat sich rausgestellt
daß mi' 'as Leben mag !

and the second verse goes:
Auf und ab voll Lustigkeit
rundum voller Freud'.
Nie war mir mei' Herz so weit,
so voll Seligkeit.
Auf und ab, i' woas net wia,
wia von oben g'lenkt.
Heut hab' i' mei' Herz wia
an die Welt verschenkt.

yes, I noticed that :) flexing muscles definitely helps, even if they're just in your throat.
