Hello, and welcome to this class, where you will learn how to play this amazing instrument called a “Recorder”. My name is Mike, and I made this class for you, to give you a great foundation for playing this instrument.
You will be able to play any songs and music you want, in any style and genre. And finally, if you keep on practicing consistently, you will even be able to play with emotion, expression and use advanced techniques in your performances on the recorder.
Why the Recorder is Amazing
Well firstly, the recorder is a remarkably versatile instrument. It has a lovely, romantic and classical sound. But you can play any type of music you want on it. From classical music, to folk music, to modern pop music…and even film, TV and game soundtrack music which is my personal favorite.
Famous examples of the recorder used in popular music culture is an alto recorder in the Harry Potter soundtrack, as well as a bass recorder used for the main riff in The Mandalorian, Star Wars soundtrack.
In the recorder family of instruments, you can also cover several registers in music, with a different size recorder for each range. From the standard soprano recorder that most of us start on, to alto recorder, tenor recorder, bass recorder and even lower.
Furthermore, the recorder is one of the rare open hole flutes, that is a fully chromatic instrument. Let me explain: “Chromatic Instrument” means that it is designed to be able to be easily playable for all 12 notes of music. On top of that, you have over 2 octaves in range on a recorder. Which in turn means that you can play any song ever written, in any style of music, on this instrument.
Finally, the recorder is in fact capable of so much expression techniques, variation and emotion. For example – adding decorations, playing in legato, making slides, bends, and doing vibrato. So yes, the recorder is a pretty amazing instrument.

In this class, we will focus on the soprano recorder, but when you have learned how to play it, you can move on to other recorders if you want to. Because they all share the same fundamental playing techniques as well as advanced expressive options to add emotion into your performances.
