Forget everything you thought you knew about the recorder | Art Works

You might think of the recorder as a plastic, screechy instrument that you look forward to your kid giving up. But there’s way more to this unfairly derided instrument than a punchline. #ArtWorksABC

Really terrific playing. Inspirational.

[@manuelgonzales6483]

I love the recorder. I just said that the other day, she's beautiful but is an unforgiving instrument. 💕🥳 I love the sopranino and garklein 🙀 myself.

I just started learning. If I learn to play my plastic soprano recorder will I also be able to also play the other recorders?

[@jhreal1]

yes

[@XiELEd4377]

Alto Recorder has a different fingering from the Soprano, so not really... you'll have a headstart since you already know breath control and tonguing though.

[@brittsedits9340]

You'll be able to play the tenor - the fingering is the exact same as soprano and it has a lovely, mellow sound!

The golden age was of recorder was actually back when "The Recorder World Tour play along" album came out by OG Contra Band which changed the recorder world forever
