#HappyBirthdaytoYou, also known as #HappyBirthday, is a song traditionally sung to celebrate the #anniversary of a person's birth. According to the 1998 #GuinnessWorldRecords, it is the most recognized song in the #EnglishLanguage, followed by #ForHe'sAJollyGoodFellow. The song's base lyrics have been translated into at least 18 languages.[1] The melody of "Happy Birthday to You" comes from the song "Good Morning to All",[2] which has traditionally been attributed to American sisters Patty and Mildred J. Hill in 1893,[3][4] although the claim that the sisters composed the tune is disputed. For more read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_B...

I know for a fact that recorders do not sound like that, but anyways thank you for teaching me. I can play this flawlessly.

[@KerinGedge]

Well, that's because these tutorials are made using a keyboard! I just don't have the time or patience to record myself playing all these songs, I'm not much of a performer to be honest! Thanks!

[@xavqnesh420]

Yeah, recorder in this video is sounding so differently.

This is so helpfull but i cant get the pinching thing sorted can you explain it cuz whenever i try to do that it squeaks no matter what i do and i even tried to cover all the holes and not letting any air go out but it still squeaks

[@KerinGedge]

Try this tutorial, he explains what I mean by "pinching the thumb hole" very well, it's covering the hole with the tip of your thumb to create a very tiny hole. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpLbnYSjZrR6oJo

[@pradeepjain9911]

@@KerinGedge thanks

[@Jayne_3]

I don't get the pinching thing either.

[@juliasmiththeblindgirl9839]

I have a question. How do you pinch the thumb hole? I don't know what that means.

[@KerinGedge]

Sorry, the picture is so tiny! Instead of covering the hole you sort of shift your thumb so that your thumb nail is "pinching" down on the hole, thus creating a tiny gap in the hole. When you do this it moves the pitch of the recorder up an octave.

[@americaguzman3185]

This did helped a lot but I didnt got the song😔😔

[@KerinGedge]

Oh no, what about now?

@@KerinGedge hehehe lol!

[@Jayne_3]

What do u men by pinch down the thumbhole

[@KerinGedge]

Just like in the picture, you use the tip of your thumb to create a tiny gap in the thumb hole... by doing this you raise your notes an octave.
