Giving my husband a recorder lesson..! | Team Recorder

So my husband Jon pops up on Team Recorder from time to time, and believe it or not he actually ASKED ME for a recorder lesson. So here it is, and it's Bach..!
Jon is actually a pretty good target audience for this channel - like a lot of you, he had recorder lessons as a child, didn't play for many years, and now plays a bunch of other instruments. I attempt to teach him a host of things from articulation to trills, from high notes to how to play 'B'.
/// MUSIC
In this video we play Bourée' from Bach's lute suite... aaah I forgot which one please tell me in the comments ❤️🙏🏼
/// INSTRUMENTS
In this video I play on:
a 442 soprano by Mollenhauer
a 442 alto by Mollenhauer/Adri's dream
a 442 Rafi tenor by Li Virghi
Jon plays on:
a 442 soprano by Mollenhauer/Adri's dream
a casiophone. Yep, that thing is called a casiophone

If you can already play clarinet and sax then recorder comes pretty naturally.

[@rickmccloy4201]

@@SeekerLancer Not for me it didn't, except for breath support and reading music, I found little crossover.

If that's him playing after one lesson ... when can I book in?

[@Machodave2020]

Hi, I'm Sarah's agent, there is no booking, what you mean?

[@moldugam]

I think the reason he was able to play good so quickly is cuz he played the sax and the notes are similar between sax and recorder

[@moldugam]

I hope the way I put it makes sense...

[@jonteske4267]

Happy to see another J-O-N, though at age 77 (b. 1942) I had the name before JON (as a name) was cool. Unlike most JONs, I am not a "Jonathan" (My mom did not have a clue, but tended to march to a different drummer.) I did, however, turn out to be a violinist and eventually also a violist. I briefly tried recorder while I was in college, but someone stole my one and only instrument. I wonder if that was a nearby dorm floor mate exercising his critic instincts.

[@learnyee]

that JS Bach piece is something I always play in guitar, Bourree in e-minor BWV 996

Thanks Sarah, lovely video with the most challenging student, those close to you. Jon seems to me a fast learner. Not always the easiest to deal with.

As an uneducated person trying to teach herself how to read notes (I feel like a toddler really) can you give me tips on where to start? I bought this book that says "easy muziek lessons" but in the second chapter they ramble about tempo and I am not ready for that! I barely know the names of the notes yet. I drew the G key notes on my bathroom wall and am practicing an app daily for the where the notes on the lines are but I struggle to find music that I can play. All theory is not how I learn. Maybe you can guide me to some easy sheet music? Thanks in advance! I really enjoy your video's and thanks to you, I wanted to try and see I if can learn to play music. 💖

I'm getting used to it already. The big holes are really bend-friendly. JS Batch!!! Yay! Or Johnny Brook, perhaps... It's enough to make a Bach book a Deed Poll...

[@pddv1]

Hi I liked the sound of your husband recorder that blue and wood .... how can I buy it ???

[@jeffwatt3410]

Couple of little points here, if I may (maybe you all already knew all this?). In case anyone did not: - 1) Renaissance and Baroque woodwind players (of *all* woodwind instruments in those times - and yes, that included the time of BACH (J.S.)... or 'Batch' if you really must (lol!) - yes they all had to fully contend with (and be adept with) all the 'subtleties' of *forked fingerings* (as these are nowadays called) and 'pinched notes' (hole or holes only partially covered) as *standard*... right through until well into the nineteenth century - with the coming of *keywork* [For players of BRASS instrunents: *natural* trumpets and horns for example - things were even more problematic ... until the invention of VALVES - well into the nineteenth century also ... but that's another whole subject all by itself!) 2) Every decent tutor book - for, again, *any* woodwind instrumemt (and including the recorders) today should really include not only fingering charts or diagrams (of some kind) but also a standard 'table of shakes' (or TRILLS if you prefer) ... to be used as 'alternative fingerings' only for this really and not for the passages of main straight ('unadorned' or 'trill-less') melody.

[@qwaqwa1960]

Mmmm, butter...

[@Naucano]

Now here are a few next questions once you are certain of your fingering: what is the tempo of a bourrée ? Did they really still danced on those dances and what would that do with the tempi and metrum if they weren't or were ( in the Baroque that is, since it is Bach afterall and not the Renaissance ) ? And the two first notes of the bourrée ... aren't they suppose to be played as an upbeat ?

[@BB-xm8jc]

The dances that are usually written by bach and other composers (like chopins ballades) are not meant to be danced to, they are abstracted dances. Hope this helps!

[@Naucano]

@@BB-xm8jc Indeed, I agree, but let us not compare Bach with Chopin who lived almost 200 years later, let's leave Fréderik's mazurkas in their own time and style and stick to roughly ca. 1600-1750 period shall we ? And that is still 150 years. The answer to "were they danced" is: we are not entirely sure. It certainly depended to what purpose the music was written for. For theaters or at a nobles court: the answer would be undoubtly yes. Why did Bach write this music for ? He left Weimar and went to Köthen in 1717. Could anyone dance upon this music ? Sure. Would that be the case here ? Ehmm ... maybe not or maybe it depends how you play it.

[@jpdj2715]

Repeat view. Funny as F (that's flute of course, of the non-transversal kind). And, Ms. Jefry, what's in a name in the country of mispronunciation and mispelling where a couple hundred years later Shakespeare's texts don't rhyme and rhythm any longer in the speak of the day - this dance originally is called "Bourrée" - double r. Also by Jon S Batch in his urtexts The single r may have been introduced by this brit-pop group J. Tool but their excuse is they only used the first 8 bars

[@ly1.072]

A non-recorder player who happens to be French here passing by, just to clarify that 'Bourrée' doesn't mean 'butter' in French but 'drunk (and because there's two E's in the end it refers to a female gender)'. Butter in French is 'Beurre' and it's pronounced almost like the english word 'Purr' but with a B instead of a P. I do realize that French lessons has nothing to do with Recorder and I apology for that.
