recorder lesson: for a better quality of sound

[@beckywalker1896]

Another excellent lesson that has made a difference in my playing! Thank you!!!!

[@unagondolaunremo]

thanks! i use different "tu" in different places and with different instruments: for this reason it is important to play the same music with instrument of different quality, just for learning how to use and change the tonguing the articulation affects very much the sound and you have to try different kind of "tu" (from very soft to very strong) because they will be your colors that you can use as a painter it depends also from "where" you are playing, in a church, in the open air, in a room

Thank you very much! I listen to "La Follia" by Corelli and F-major sonata by HendeI performed by you. The perfomances are very good, and the sound is incredible. More pour sound of recorder in your lessons doesn't stop me in absorbing your very usefull thoughts. And it seems to me that you are right when you play at lessons not so perfect as you do it at the other videos. This is a way to be more intimate with apprentices

I guess you can even make a piece of electricity pipe sound beautiful. I love listening to and watching your video's. Learning so much from you, thanks!

[@unagondolaunremo]

you are welcome

This is great lesson thank you very much I'm a beginner, is there any recommendations for online instruction s thanks again

[@unagondolaunremo]

:))

[@unagondolaunremo]

thanks for your comments! in effect i repeat the videos without words until they are "quite" perfect, but in my video lessons i play like in a speech with a friend

[@unagondolaunremo]

I agree with you: playing recorder we have big problems in order to be expressive and to make nuances without broken the tuning the others wind instruments can manage better the relationship between volume and tuning of each note but i have no guts! really i'm just sharing my opinions concerning some musics, telling what i think about, using words or performances, and i accept and like to discuss with people who don't agree with me

Greetings from Uruguay. I am watching your videos because I want to be a recorder player. In this lesson I was a question. I always have to inflate my cheeks to play long notes? Thank you.

[@unagondolaunremo]

non, inflate cheeks is important for difficult notes, very high or low

[@nico_flautista]

Thanks teacher!

[@a5urbanipa1]

Your notes about the recorder are excellent. Telemann lessons are really mind-openers. Regarding the colpo di lingua (tonguing or articulation), should the "t" in the "tu" be soft, sharp or strong? How the articulation of that silent syllable can affect the sound?

[@FrauStechpalme]

Thank you, fascinating video series! I have noticed that in early videos of Michala Petri, she actually holds the recorder very still. Is this a stylistic choice? You mentioned here that Brueggen moved it around to search for the best tone for each note.

[@unagondolaunremo]

michaela is a wonderful recorder player but she played instrument completely different of the instruments used by brueggen, more modern, quite perfect; brueggen used a lot of ancient instruments, more interesting but more irregular; probably this one of the reasons (the other is a total difference of the way of playing)

[@recorderfan]

thank you for the lesson. by the way what recorder brand are you using... is it an aulos... not sure.... fantastica lezione. grazie maestro.

[@unagondolaunremo]

you are welcome!

[@veriorama]

Your videos are excellent but there is a problem with the sound. The speaking is too low and the notes with the recorder are too high. I damaged my ears temporarily because I listened them with earpods. I think the sound must be more balanced. Thank you :)

[@unagondolaunremo]

yes, you are right but with my digital recorder i didn't find a way for balancing the sound; probably the video more recent are better, i hope so!

[@2628064379]

Thankyou for the lesson.

[@unagondolaunremo]

yes, it is an aulos very old (1985, i guess) prego (bisogna che mi decida a fare qualche lezione in italiano: sono sicuro che i concetti verrebbero meglio approfonditi!)

[@deltafour1212]

Do they make Alto Recorder with with German Style Fingering?

[@unagondolaunremo]

i think yes, but is unusual

[@michaelbeattie745]

[@beatesetzer2441]

thank you,I am struggling to improve my tonguing an make it softer

[@unagondolaunremo]

you are welcome!

[@boricuamayan579]
