How to play STAR WARS themes on recorder | Team Recorder

[@mikemwema]

I never thought a recorder could be such an amazing instrument. Just started learning to play

[@bodaniels7250]

Agreed it is Amazing

[@bradbaldauf2854]

"The recorder is strong with this one ... yes ... yes"

[@FıratDeveci]

May the Recorder be with you.

[@jimmagwojo2718]

Never grow tired of the Force theme, I remember as a child playing Star Wars themes on my Recorder. Thanks Sarah

[@kharmaviv]

I love them all. I can't help but get excited about the song from the bar scene. That has to be especially fun to play. 🤓💗🎶

[@petragris1947]

Your vidoes are always SO delightful! We just picked up the recorder for the first time, for a bit of pandemic fun. So glad we found you, Sarah, because you are just a font of good information, with an appealing and encouraging manner. Thank you for sharing your joy with all of us!

[@Team_Recorder]

You're welcome! 😄

[@sockmonkeyfun]

Thank you so much Sarah! I purchased your arrangement. I love that there is an easy practical way to support team recorder!

[@ladaga85]

That's a recorder should sound. Even with a easy arrangements you sound as a truly Pro one. Thanks for sharing! Amazing job

[@progrulez]

May the force be with you.

[@Team_Recorder]

OHH SHIT what a wasted opportunity 😅

[@christophertsiliacos8958]

May the “farce” be with you. Just a little Scottish brogue from the "land of the Gaels." 😉

[@arrayindexoutofboundsexcep1088]

I did not know that it's possible to play songs like these on a recorder. So after three days of watching your videos I bought one. The blue Yamaha 😁

[@theresa74]

Thanks Sarah, I love Star Wars and although I've got the official recorder book I also bought your arrangement as there's no such thing as too much Star Wars music :D

[@shamusobi2748]

Lukes theme (the second one) is one of the reasons I bought the recorder to learn and play. Thank you thank you thank you. (Would luv a recorder version for blue orchid by white stripes!)

[@barthvapour]

Thanks Sarah! I love playing the Star Wars themes on recorder as you will have seen from my Level Up Your Playing submissions!

[@Michajeru]

I love it! I will have a go at playing the first part for my grandchildren who love Star Wars.

[@human-era-calendar]

Great Idea! Thank you for doing this work for us! So enjoy your channel.

[@zeyneptugrul4153]

Thank you Sarah🥰 I was thinking what to do this weekend's lockdown. You gave me a great gift🤩

[@idraote]

Silly me, I woudn't have thought it a possible arrangement: to reduce it to a single instrumental line and a recorder's one to boot? You proved me wrong, but I am happy about it 😄 Nice job!

[@MamaOdie]

❣️❣️That started my morning off on a great note❣️❣️

[@bernardauvity9669]

Thanks so much from France, Sarah , realy great to learn solfege rythm (and english) with children

[@LilaLacktrichterling]

Very impressive, but can you play the flute tune while jumping through the woods?

[@pamelah1220]

Love the Cantina song.

[@YorozuyaNeesan2010]

This was wonderful

[@1969bigmatt]

this is fantastic! the orchestra im in has bought me a bass recorder! I wanna learn this medley but i cant see it on jellynote. can i just by it from you ? please!

[@EuphoniaPooch]

Thank you Sarah!

[@eitanaltshuler2540]

That was amazing.

[@DividingInfinity]

I’m a Bb Clarinet/Alto clarinet player, I’m apart of a large community concert band, and I’m thinking of taking up bass recorder. Though I know it’s an odd situation I was wondering what parts could recorders cover of other instruments that are in there range (mainly the bass recorder), given the small chance of a recorder part being included in a concert band score. But aside from that have you ever seen or heard of the usage of recorders within the concert band setting?

[@idraote]

I hope Sarah will answer to this very interesting question. From what I gathered from her videos about the bass recorder, it will be challenging to put it in a band with brass because it is not a loud instrument. The real range of the bass recorder is that of a mezzo soprano singer, that is from F below middle C upwards. It sounds darker because... well, all recorders sound darker in timbre, it comes with the family. Soprano and sopranino can be louder, especially if you select wider bore instruments (the Mollenhauer dream recorders come to mind) but I'm still not sure how practical that will be.

[@DividingInfinity]

@@idraote Same! I honestly think it would be a good concept for a vid, there is virtually no information easily available on recorders within the concert band setting. And thank you for the information on the classing of it's range, I really didn't even think about it's actual range being somewhat high for a ''bass''

[@nhaggin]

While deferring to Sarah for the final answer, as a fellow clarinet player my experience is that you'd need a soprano or sopranino to cut through the mass of the band, and what's more you'd need a recorder section. Something like the Mollenhauer Modern or Helder or Adriana Breukink's Eagle instruments would fare better but could still get swamped. The lower recorders really work best in a recorder consort. I'm not even sure electronic amplification would help a bass recorder in a band of modern wind instruments.

[@sireruntalon]

Amazing, thanks, it was wonderful, love your vídeos

[@malahamavet]

I want a video on Padme and Anakin love theme. the main theme I learned it when I was 12

[@MrRandyk2]

Like the recorder names shirt as well!

[@olivierrg]

That was fun playing along. Just suitable for my recorderskills, although maybe I should practise that double tounging. I was thinking, maybe it would be fun you make a duet in this way, playing a line, and showing the 2nd voice on notes on screen.

[@jonblu]

Can you make a video about the "Fife Flute"? There are very few videos about it out there

[@acyutanandadas1326]

I'm teaching a ten year old on a soprano and she just can't play right handed. I turned the foot joint around and she's playing and learning very well. Question---should I modify the dished out area at the double hole pinky finger area for a smoother c c# ( if that makes any sense ??} it's a plastic so I don't mind it it goes wrong-- I have another

[@acyutanandadas1326]

@@mauchan87 I know, I even told he her she'd never play any orchestra model woodwind but left hand wouldn't change (Benoit Suave plays lefty, so there's some hope, maybe??))

[@kallikles2003]

@@mauchan87 Renaissance recorders were routinely made with two holes on the bottom, one on either side, so the player could choose which hand to use on the lower part (the non used hole would be closed with wax). So I don't see what's wrong with the suggested arrangement, as it's been done for centuries. Now, to be honest, Renaissance recorders did not have double holes for 6 and 7, which made life simpler, but a suitable solution could easily be found for today's plastic (and cheap but still very good) recorders. The only drawback would be the upgrade to a wooden instrument---but the pupil could just skip the typical intermediate step (factory made mid-range instruments, i.e Moeck's, Mollenhauer's etc), play a few years more on plastic and then move on to a custom made instrument (whose price would not be very different from the top industrial models in any case). In other words, go for it! Create the best learning environment for the student, and solve the (minimal) problems later when, and most importantly *If* they arise.

[@elizabethkamber4044]

Jelly note says the score is missing! Oh no!

[@samuel7145]

Hello, please I was wondering if you can make a video on finger exercises on the same kind of flute.I have tried looking for videos, but couldn't find any

[@earth.to_teena]

Can you please do a video on "In another Life"

[@donrocktheimposter912]

ooohhh!!! Do Superman next!

[@VolkovAnatoliy]

it's fantastic!

[@Losataschu]

off topic: is there a good website with baroque fingering for a soprano recorder?

[@clairekurdelak2913]

Brilliant! Thanks

[@erinkirsch5623]

The score doesn’t show up in jelly note from the link 😞

[@svantepersson9735]

Nice, thank you.

[@loodo3859]

Could you do a tutorial on tinkerbells song neverland I can’t find any

[@altstufftv]

New subscriber! that was great!

[@cesarvidelac]

Can you consider the soundtrack from "The Vision of Escaflowne"? It's sort of a classic orchestra one but with some beautiful songs for voice and oboe, that will sound beautiful on recorder. Thank you for everything!

[@fionaespiridion5707]

Yayyyy

[@ricardoortiz1746]

You’re awesome!

[@subramaniantr2091]

Great playing and video. But moveable-do Solfege please!! Williams definitely played it as : do sol fa mi re Do sol fa mi re Do sol fa mi fa re..And then came the absolute notes.

[@eduardoolivares5668]

Play across the stars theme , excellent video i love it

[@caioburton]

you are amazing!

[@carlitos5336]

Perfecto

[@evanparker]

GOD BLESS YOU TEAM RECORDER Sarah j for the solfege notes :-D you really are a music student huh?

[@pink_sparkly_flowers]

3:11 cantina band (this is just for my reference lol)

[@RalphLooij]

Time for a new edition of all the Star Wars movies, only thing that's different is the film music, now played on recorder. I'd love to see Darth Vader, accompanied by a garklein.

[@murgh2350]

Awesome! You made me pick up my old childhood recorder again. I still suck but oh wow it's fun! Maybe next tutorial could be some Witcher music ? :-P

[@ACEvital]

Very beautiful 😍👏👏

[@animeshpati5525]

Thank u

[@joey9140]

I am the recorder and the recorder is with me.😉

[@sunflowerbadger]

May the Force be With You! Such an epic tune! I saw Kula Shaker drop this into the middle of Tattva a few years ago, but obviously not as epic as the Team Recorder version.

[@whatcanisay-e2d]

The first!!

[@pharmhound68]

I have a challenge for you. Marshall Tucker Band. Heard it in a Love Song. Flute intro piece. On Recorder.

[@asrudin.fullbuster]

Mantap

[@steftrando]

0:52 why didn’t you teach how to play this in the proper Bb major?

[@MM2-Mizu]

Cant hit the sharp keys!😃

[@gregorybaynham1122]

[@Alexandra-crus-7]

Hello Sarah ! Thank you for this video !! I have a recorder Chanel...I would like to make reference to you .. If you allow me ..

[@steftrando]

3:50 your tonguing on the C is wrong there. It should be more staccato

[@mikepalmer1178]

GOT ROASTED BY ROGAN - waddya think?? vid?? it's in the Eric Weinstein ep btw

[@animeshpati5525]

I wish I would have done Anakin's betrayal

[@jonathandjieagu8214]

My My

[@shauryadiwanshukla]

And guess what, the main star wars theme was copied from Kongold's Kings Row...

[@blackdream1900]

thats pretty , but star wars is for the "specials" from us . good ppl will go for star trek , always .

[@philb4462]

I was looking carefully at your top to read the words. Yes, definitely only to read the words. Oh hang on, my girlfriend is coming.

[@davemercado6615]

fourth hehe

[@Team_Recorder]

may the fourth.. never mind 😅

[@gnolex86]

I thought you'd deliberately play in a terrible way because of today.

[@christophertsiliacos8958]

Maybe it's just yours truly, but most of these tunes - played on the soprano recorder - were more conducive for a concession stand selling roasted peanuts. 😒

[@erinkirsch5623]

The score doesn’t show up in jelly note from the link
