HOW TO PLAY A RECORDER
HOW TO PLAY A RECORDER
- Very gentle breath control is needed for a pleasant tone.
- Careful fingers are needed that cover the entire hole and keep all air from escaping to create a nice sound and in tune notes.
- Use your tongue to separate the notes in one continuous stream of breath. Don't use separate breaths in between notes.
