Just keep in mind that this music is for dance. So, a danceable tempo (e.g., 100-120 BPM) with clear rhythmic emphasis is necessary for it to have an authentic sound. Otherwise, it's just a pretty classical piece.

That's interesting! On the bagpipes, we have those same ornaments (and a lot more because we cannot use our tongue and there is juste 9 notes...) but they are called grace notes instead of ornaments. And each have different names like g-grace notes, d-throws, birl, etc!

Playing bagpipes sounds really nice. How long have you been playing? Does it take long to learn to play tunes?

I had played pipes for about 10 years and recently took up the whistle. The pipe ornaments work nicely on the whistle.

Muito bom didático top ô💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

[@ThisCanBePronounced]

In before the video links, it seems. For the last performance, you did add ornaments in a lot more places than those you pointed out in the lesson, right? If so, I think it would have been nice if you included that complete notation to help people see in just how many places and how often the ornaments can go in and in what sort of variety / frequency. I don't personally need it for myself and I agree that just listening is better, but such complete examples seem rare and maybe even for me it could be helpful. Thank for the awesome video! PS: I happen to have a Mollenhauer catalog from a visit to the huge instrument mall in Seoul. Maybe you have a model they're not advertising here but I don't see any dark colored boxwoods; closest seems to be a Denner-edition 5120 in rosewood - European boxwood seems to be a light color: the 5129. If you see this, please let me know. Thanks! (EDIT: That's not the 442... though, woops. Still looking.)

[@rakesh14011996]

I love your tutorials. Can we play flute notes on a recorder? If yes, please make a video for that.

[@Fretfeeler]

Notes are notes...

[@saxrendell]

The flute sounds an octave lower than a recorder when reading the "same" notes on sheet music, so technically no, a recorder cant play the first register of a flute because its too low. When looking at the notes on the page though, a flute can go much higher than a recorder because it has a bigger usable range before it starts getting shrill and difficult. The vast majority of the middle of both instruments overlaps though, and they're both non-transposing, so for most things it will be easy to play flute music on a recorder and vice versa. If you play both together it will sound an octave apart.

[@saxrendell]

to clarify i am talking about a descant/soprano recorder like the one in this video. A tenor recorder has a much more similar range to a flute, and they sound in the same octave.

[@grandma.p]

This video has been so helpful. I'm actually getting cuts and taps now. I'll try rolls and slides later this month. By the way, how do you feel about metrnome meters?

[@st1mp0]

What is a good affordable recorder to purchase?

[@stevewolfe3214]

Sarah and team: I have read that with the whistle you want minimal articulation in the tune. Because the various pipes cannot articulate with the tongue. So articulation is perhaps only on consecutive pitches that are same, or just once in a while for an emphasis at the beginning of a phrase etc, and instead just change note with the fingers or do a cut/tap/slide. I think I heard you doing that, but you didn't' discuss. (I did find your intro to articulation .. and I'll go over it again)

[@soslothful]

I have just started dabbling with "The Tin Whistle Toolbox" by Grey Larsen. Seems to have near everything one would want to know about whistle playing. A Google search will quickly link you.

@@stevewolfe3214 Yeah, playing myself whistles and flutes for quite a long time I can tell you that if you want to sound folky you shouldn't listen to her because she is using way to much tonguing an nearly no finger articulation (taps, cuts, rolls, cran are crucials). Se is probably great for renaissance but not for folk imao.

[@meggiekwait4406]

D.R. Did you watch the whole video? She literally says that she’s starting with it played in a classical style and then moving to a folkier style. She’s played whistle in folk contexts for a really long time and has other videos discussing this.

[@d.r.9888]

@@meggiekwait4406 oh! You're right, I didn't! I had hope but It still sounds bad to me. No rolls where you expect them to be. It lacks of articulation when going in the upper octave. And the rythm was a bit shaky. The "feeling", variants and taps/cuts were better than the first version though.

[@jjf6257]

Hello from Finland! Thank you for the informative videos you have uploaded! I have watched your videos to find out which recorder we should choose for our daughter (and to be honest, for myself, too). Still haven't decided, which one will be the first good wooden one for her. Thank you also for playing different types of music. I love especially baroque music but like listen to different types of music. Just one question: have you ever played for example some violin concertos with recorder? I mean like replacing the solo violin with a recorder. Is it even possible or is the scale too big? I have heard for example Sibelius' violin concerto, which I love, played with a flute and it sounded nice. I don't know if it's a good idea to replace an instrument with another but at least it would be interesting to hear a familiar concerto played with a recorder.

[@Team_Recorder]

Hi! Ah, that’s great that your daughter is starting recorder. I personally like the Mollenhauer Dream recorders for my students! Hmm, that’s a really good question about violin concertos. I think the range and the double stops would be tricky, but it’s v interesting to think about!

[@jjf6257]

I forgot to say thanks for the fast reply! The months have passed and I have ordered my daughter a recorder and it is travelling from Germany to Finland at the moment. My daughter is already 12 years old and she has played already some years with me but she started with a professional teacher last autumn. So, her teacher recommended a Moeck Rottenburgh or a Mollenhauer Denner and we ended up to buy a Mollenhauer 5223. I hope it is an almost lifetime instrument. And again: thanks for the reply and videos, especially 'which recorder should I buy'. Next we will watch what do you say about the maintenance and playing in. My daughter has already talked with her teacher about taking care of a wooden recorder but it's nice to know if you have more tips.

Thanks Sarah - a very lively tune. Question: Are the Adri's Dream soprano recorders a good choice for folk music? I am considering buying one.

[@ZwillingNr1]

Yes, they are propably the best choice for folk. The holes are bigger, so slides sound better and for some reason the ornamentations sound much cleaner.

@@ZwillingNr1 thanks for this info - much appreciated :)

[@Team_Recorder]

[@Sylvia-Storm]

I was thinking of getting the descant one. I’ve got a plum wood tenor and it’s fabulous, gets the high notes much easier than my others.

[@MrValium100]

I have a question. When u make a cut, u need to use tongue? I mean, there is 2 notes (in this case LA and DO). With the cut, becomes LA-DO-LA. So, u must use the tongue for 3 differents blows? Or in this case is like playing 2 notes? Same for the roll tecnique. Every single note u make u must blow every single time or when the notes are really fast a single blow is enough? I hope you understand my question XD

[@ThisCanBePronounced]

She said she has another video for more details; go check it out. You don't use the tongue as a necessity, and simple ornaments like the cut are meant to separate notes, not create a new pitch. Many attribute this to bagpipe tradition; steady air means all note separation is done with fingers.

[@MrValium100]

@@ThisCanBePronounced Thanks :)

[@Vanpotheosis]

I don't understand how she makes higher notes when covering the lower holes... Can you change octaves with air pressure or something?

[@Vanpotheosis]

Still failing lol. If I don't cover the notes sequentially they don't change at all. For example, when I see her cover all the holes at the top but then cover the hole with her middle finger and then her index finger on the right hand the thing somehow works. If I skip a hole then it doesn't change the note at all. It just plays the whatever the highest hole open is. Doesn't even make a change in pitch or anything else.

With the exception of the trumpet and harmonica, I learned to play them all within the last five to ten years. I have two caveats: I only play treble clef instruments, and since I only play lyrical tunes and hymns, I only play them within the first two octaves.

It may take me a week to get through my entire repertoire of instruments.

That’s odd. The sheet music is in the key of G. That is at least the key signature is in the key of G. Why are the F notes designated with the shape symbol [#] throughout the piece? All F notes are played as F# notes in the key of G, unless designated as an accidental. And then I notice that the G notes are designated in the sheet music with a natural sign. All G notes are played as G natural in the key of G, unless it’s an accidental. Why the redundancy?

[@Panarchy.]

Well, those G naturals are immediately following G sharps, so it's not uncommon to add a redundant natural sign in the next bar, but I imagine the F sharps are just to make it as easy as possible to read!

[@stephenmartin8197]

The piece is in the key of A. However, it's not in either major or minor. It's in Dorian mode. EDIT: A Dorian has the same key signature as G major.

[@Team_Recorder]

Yes Panarchy and Steve, you’re both right! - G naturals: just to be clear after the G#s - F# signs: again to be clear, this was requested after my last playalong tutorial... - exactly, it’s a modal tune! It’s v definitely centered around A, but ibky has the F#. Yay modes!

[@christophertsiliacos8958]

@@Panarchy. Your point is well taken as to being a viable option. For the benefit of others, had the G sharp been within the same measure as the G natural between to bar lines the note in question would require a sharp sign or a natural sign, depending on its placement within the arrangement, designating it as an accidental.
