Recorder Tutor?

Post by Chuck_Clark »

Can someone recommend a good, preferably simple, recorder instruction website? I know it looks like a whistle - but in my hands it should be in someone else's. ANYONE else's.

Dolmetsch Online Recorder Method

Post by nissa_loves_cats »

I've found a good recorder method online at http://www.dolmetsch.com/method.htm. It looks pretty good to me. I didn't learn the recorder using it, though, since I learned to play long before Al Gore invented the internet. :P

I had a book called 'Enjoy your Recorder' by the Trapp family singers, said book comes in two editions, for soprano and alto recorders. It explained things that other recorder books I had didn't--- like the fact recorders come in two different fingerings, baroque/english and German. So I finally discovered why the 'f' sounded okay on my plastic recorder and crappy on the wood recorder my granny gave me.
