"that's funny daddy" killed me xd

[@SpiacyLos]

It's a genius baby after all!

[@orirune3079]

These two weirdos are made for each other. And the baby is following right in their footsteps!

[@TheEasiestGuitarTabs]

Lol

[@highoctanecommuting3862]

Oh yes! So wacky... a lot of talent in that room. LOL genius baby...

[@marcuscato9083]

They really are totally adorable.

[@Yossus]

Having a baby in the background is the most contemporary

[@lizh8041]

"That's funny, daddy." - Now THAT'S music criticism.

[@benko5833]

3:51 😭

[@enricoboldrini5350]

LMAO

[@rishabhanand4270]

I like to explore.... mountains. Good save my man.

[@redcowcat8705]

He does actually explore mountains tho... Look at his instagram.

[@gabrielkolim]

Omg sooo funny

[@JackLe1127]

Depends on what kind of "mountains" we're talking about here ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@ramimadanat7512]

Petition to have Bodil in every video from now on.

[@user-pz4um9hi1j]

Second that

[@user-pz4um9hi1j]

Or maybe just in silly videos

[@lowcountryhooper]

Yes, please. More Bodil!

[@Emperatriz_Valentina]

“That’s funny daddy” summary of all contemporary music

[@sebasmusician736]

Baby: *starts hitting the tambourine on time* Sarah: we have a ling ling!!

[@cristhiancamarena9534]

Pf, ling ling could play polyrhythms at the age of two, not even close buddy.

[@Jimminy812]

ive seen grown ups with that much sense of rhythm

[@sebasmusician736]

@@cristhiancamarena9534 ling ling first words were polyrhythms

[@alan3179-n1r]

Genius Baby's parents' reaction to Genius Baby's genius could well be the best thing I've seen on KZbin!

[@elainemagson213]

My face muscles hurt from grinning all through this and then laughing aloud. Bodil and Jon are such stars. "Daddy's funny!" Yes indeed... Thank you Sarah! You are saving my sanity.

[@meredithgrotti7511]

Gotta love a baby that can already play the beat and upstage her parents;)

[@KitWriter]

Considering there are people on KZbin with MILLIONS of subscribers, who play a recorder with their nose while wearing a frog hat, I’ve gotta say it’s nice to see people who are 🎶recorder geniuses🎵 Also, kudos for exposing kids to music. This is the age where they are the absolute most likely to pick up things. See my most recently uploaded video to see my 2-year-old use a bass-slap technique that he was simply mimicking, after seeing it performed. Great job, gang!

[@Chris_the_Muso]

Actually yes, 7:44 starts exploring the notes she is hearing. Not too surprising really but very interesting when it happens.

[@christalsmith1866]

Your daughter is so cute! Loved the video, I wore a big grin the whole way through. I've been following you for a little while and love your channel. I'm just starting to learn to play on my Dads 40yr old Alto and your channel has been so so helpful.

[@tmann986]

Jon’s interpretation was an iNtReSTiNg out of 10! Loved it! Laughed so hard 🤣

[@jessicaanizor692]

I don't even play recorder, but I stumbled over here a few weeks ago, and I'm really entertained 😀 You guys rock.

[@IngKvi]

Don’t worry, if you keep watching you will start playing recorder.

[@terrenceseidel3054]

Good thing trying to teach Your husband Jon. Very Groovy that you had your Daughter watching! Family doing Music together she'll may never Forget!!! Good going!!!

[@sngbrd]

“I’m a recoooorder geeeeeniuuuuus”. 😂 I’m claiming this as my theme tune. Regardless of the fact that I’m not a recorder genius.

[@dannytownsend3710]

I fully appreciate John's problems with circular breathing. I've never mastered it. I also kind of agree with his comment that classical contemporary recorder music is often unpleasant to listen to!

[@thesoulthinker9865]

Hi Sarah! I'm a Guitar player but I like your channel..i enjoy watching you play the recorder..i like the way notes play in wind instruments that i cant quite replicate with the guitar.

[@losgatossonmuychidos]

This video has got to be one of the best videos to ever be on the internet! “That’s funny daddy!”, Team recorder!

[@idraote]

Can we have a contemporary piece featuring little Bodil's gurgling and talking and singing? She's so adorable she would have the whole audience at her feet.

[@nonperson9825]

I think both of you are great. Im a guitarist but i have a wooden recorder, you inspired me to play it sarah. Glad davie405 found u for me lol

[@guitarforceone]

This was sooo cool and funny!! Bodil is actually a metronome 🤣 I'm amazed at how Sarah is a brilliant recorder player, a master. Keep up the great work! (Instead of practicing Moonlight Sonata 3rd Movement on guitar this summer, I'm buying a recorder!!)

[@nuzlock4481]

"that is funny daddy ,that is funny.." I love this cutipie !!!

[@Benjabenja77]

Your exasperated 'why won't you take contemporary music seriously' face hit me in the soul

[@jimmagwojo2718]

How I missed watching this video I do not know but it was one of the most joyous, and uplifting, and enjoyable videos I've seen in a long time - Sarah & Jon you rock

[@Team_Recorder]

☺️🥰

[@robertrotenberg7759]

We shouldn't forget that Jon is a highly accomplished reed player. It might be a fairer exchange if he challenged Sarah to play contemporary saxophone music with its extended technique, either on the saxophone (exact comparison) or the modern recorder. To my ear, composers for both instruments share a fondness for microtones.

[@moma3103]

This video is gold!

[@bellbastos1]

Loved the video but must say, Bodil was the best part of it. "That's funny, daddy!" Haha 100% adorable

[@cesarvidelac]

Now you are a team of three!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 Thousand hugs to you all!

[@kharmaviv]

Great job, Bodil! Yay! 🙌 You two definitely have a Ling Ling (TwoSetViolin) on your hands. You have a wonderfully talented family. I liked "Gentle Walker" and would like to learn how to play it.

[@Team_Recorder]

You can order it from Orpheus Music and the scores are on digital download too 😊

[@kharmaviv]

☺

[@GenWivern2]

Wonderful ... bravo, all three of you!

[@christinedaum9610]

omg I laughed during the whole video! I’m still laughing!!! you’re such a Funny Family 😂😂😂

[@SuperGraciemom]

I’m really glad that you are still making these wonderful videos!!

[@megalopolis2015]

Genius baby, and a perfect audience. This is now my favorite video of yours. Precious, hilarious family.

[@user-sh5pj6jj4u]

ok I’m a grandma encouraging her homeschooled grandson to play an instrument that I could supervise over facetime. (long distance relationship…). Sarah has helped me A LOT since I know nothing about the recorder. Imagine my astonishment when I come across Sarah with her husband AND beautiful baby AND it’s hysterically funny! thanks, Jon, for being a musical guy to encourage boys to PLAY AN INSTRUMENT 🥰

[@lisaeverett9819]

This is an absolute adorable video! Family & Music! Hand in hand! 💝💝💝

[@andreviana1369]

"That's funny daddy"

[@thike7785]

Is there anyone in your household that is not hilariously entertaining? :-)

[@sfmans]

For extra amusement turn on the auto generated subtitles, some of the conversations are even funnier when mangled by them. Great video, I love the mix of different styles and levels of video you produce from super - nerdy to informative to surreal

[@pedroliver123]

this was wonderful!

[@gillchatfield3231]

Wrong camera angle. Just point it at Bodil, and we'll imagine the rest. We sure won't be able to play the music. 🤣

[@keiththurlow-bishop1617]

You realize that Bodil is the actual star of today's video, right...? ;-)

[@johnmurfadevera]

The difference is really obvious Sarah you’re a professional with the recorder. You’re brilliant. Your baby is so honest!

[@RntLnr]

Recoooorder geniuuuuus~~

[@edith6993]

Your baby stole the show! ❤️My two favourite weirdos!😂

[@brumbybailey6599]

I'm with Jon on this one, except when he was like "could you really play that with a metronome, with other people?" That was mean 😂 That last one was really beautiful, and incredibly mind blowing 🤯

[@OAmus]

Really enjoyed this video - and Sarah's playing especially!

[@argonwheatbelly637]

I love this!!! And you let Bo be a part, too. Playing is superb. The best, you guys. Brilliant!

[@Machodave2020]

9:01: The tambourine is called a drum in this case. Just keep in mind the tambourine is actually important (don't come for me, that was a joke, LingLing insurance).

[@CDQPK]

I'm not sure, but I don't think I saw "baby speaking" written anywhere on the score.....

[@jeannebouwman1970]

Oh didn't you see the ripped off part of the page? It was lost to history and now rediscovered

[@soliv27]

All the video is like a contemporary happening, including discussions and of course baby making classic music and meaningful talking quite easy to understand. It differs from most of sponsored pieces in that it is very happy, joyful, celebrating life. I love that modern art.

[@stephielulu9096]

Curliness overload! And a baby metronome! 😂💖🎶

[@GuyG.KTalesOfAnimals]

Your child is so cute how gosh too cute and her timing is just perfect

[@shoshannafachima1306]

Beaudil-daddy is funny She is so precious ❤️ You all are pure joy

[@szatalka]

Genius baby 💯💯💯💯😍

[@barbol56]

Mummy a Daddy and baby makes 3. Bodil was perfectly behaved and a joy. Loved the whole episode. thank you. Nice to see our Zana Clarke in the mix too.

[@edwinmons7129]

Very impressed with Jon's attempts, but your daughter's the real star. Kept perfect time at 13:28, very musical.

[@ajmaltaujoo4277]

Nobody: Sarah Jeffery: **plays one of the most significant contemporary pieces for recorder** Bodil: “daddy’s FuNnY! mommy’s fUnNy!” So cute!

[@luckybarrel7829]

That baby's the hidden genius and critic

[@timkw]

Is your daughter learning Dutch, bc you live in the Netherlands?

[@Team_Recorder]

Jep :)

[@KitWriter]

Sarah Jeffery / Team Recorder, that is SO VIKING. No, really, vikings took their families when establishing settlements in new lands. Way to make music a family thing! 🥰

[@TheMtnmamma]

I love your daughter , enjoy they grow up so fast !!!

[@nemegto]

Omg those vOcaLs siRRR

[@LEgregius]

His playing style sounds like me and some of my struggles. I look at the sheet music and go "what?" but if someone else plays it, I can copy them.

[@KitWriter]

Sounds to me like you’ve got a great ear for music. As a metal drummer, communicating with the band member who wrote a piece is important because we don’t know how they hear it in their head until they demonstrate the feel of the piece. When a chamber group sits down with their sheet music, they have a director to make sure everyone is interpreting the sheet music the way that is expected. ^_^

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

Same. I'm like selectively dyslexic when it comes to sheet music hahaha

[@mechwarrior5727]

I've only seen one comment about Jons "second favorite thing to explore" line and its still hilarious

[@takayanagi-senseissurprise2104]

I just love the thumbnail!

[@ianletbey]

OMG I NEVER LAUGHED SO MUCH IT WAS JUST SO PERFECT

[@lowcountryhooper]

My mind is blown too, Jon, when I watch Sarah play. I love Bodil. She is funny and beautiful.

[@leonardocoari678]

This is the cutest thing I ever seen

[@sam_bamalam]

This was so good omg

[@Teo_Ska]

Ooooww lovely family you are beautiful all together

[@barendscholtus1786]

"unreasonably difficult". Don't shoot the messenger ;)

[@anotherhumanbeingblyat8935]

No one: That one kid in primary school: Jokes aside, this is real bad-ass, both of you two are very talented.

[@Machodave2020]

1:11: it's probably the fact that John has been playing saxophone and clarinet his entire life which, even though it's not really (and don't come for me), because it's similar to recorder, he can just pick up on it like if it was nothing.

[@lilactreehouse]

Jon is awesome..LOVE his head band and you too have a fun chemistry:)

[@simfimpim]

This was the funniest video! I watched it so many times! 😄

[@CaioRyan12]

This... Little cutie human is so... CUTE 🥺😭

[@Barit0nist]

I take it back.. "that's funny daddy!" For the win! 💯

[@HornHippieMedia]

This is WILD😂😂😂😂

[@argonwheatbelly637]

Contemporary Recorder = Musical Alchemy -- in an incredibly pure form, especially as pertains to a particular Calculus of Spherical Harmony transcended. At the end of the calcined score is the potential for an elemental recombination into a refined form. This is music for wondrous reflection and display!

[@jcortese3300]

HOLY CRAP YOUR DAUGHTER WAS BORN I SWEAR LIKE TWO WEEKS AGO and she's already up and running around!!!!!!!

[@Team_Recorder]

She’s 2 and a half!!!

[@jokingpants]

Bodil steals the show in this video! That drumming was...eerie!

[@TheCoffree]

you two are so hilarious! a wonderful couple, you should have your own show! ;)

[@efthymioskostakopoulos5724]

you are amazing!!

[@luckybarrel7829]

I really like Gentle Walker as well. The only contemporary piece I think is beautiful. I wanna see more pieces like that.

[@AlejandroVazquez75]

Loved the videooooooo!!!!!!

[@jonblu]

6:11 Jon was very kind.

[@user-uz7gb7gb4v]

#1 Power Couple for sure! And definitely a genius baby!

[@TheSilence1]

genius baby

[@maryh4650]

I LOVE this video AND ADORE your daughter.

[@comeonoverandshootit]

ok but 6:31 is actually fire tho also sarah's nerdiness in this vid gives me life

[@Team_Recorder]

😄🤓

[@raynardi7243]

Bellissimo e ben suonerò dalla maestra il pezzo degli anni 60....

[@davewilliams6172]

Your daughter absolutely stole the video...genius baby indeed!

[@sashabell9997]

is it possible to hear a recording of gentle walker, i couldnt find it? :(

[@natalielebert1631]

Genuis Baby!!!

[@lewisblakley8288]

The baby called him out. So funny

[@lucapiemontese6924]

"That's funny, daddy!"❤️

[@sien_vega]

"Genius baby" just made my day.

[@bruceboysen1671]

Love it.
