This is the Conversation Forum for How to Play the Recorder << notes for xenogears music If you play recorder, you might be interested in ABC notation >> Subject: Good Short Method Posted Mar 5, 2003 by Researcher 221265   Posting 1 Im a master's student in music education at the University of Miami and im doing my own recorder method book for a project. I have to say that this condensed version is wonderful. In all practicality, you cant just start at the top and go to the bottom in one day and be a professional, but everything you need to know is there. Im actually modeling some of my explanations on the clarity of the ones here, like when it talks about care and maintennance. I had no idea that that little flat thing was called a labium! Good job!

Posted Oct 17, 2003 by BillyNelhams This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 3 This guide is utterly amazing, I read it, understood it, picked up an old recorded and was playing like a pro. ***** Subject: Good Short Method Posted Jul 24, 2006 by virtualzo0m This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 4 I actually fin your post slightly offensive. You're perpetuating the stereotype that the recorder is struggling tirelessly to get away from: that it is a simplistic instrument and takes no skill to learn. People can play their entire lives and never achieve virtuosity on this instrment. I'm surprised that you consider yourself enough of an expert to write a book on recorder technique, yet do not know the basic parts of the instruments. I hope you research carefully so that no one is misled.

This is a guide for beginners. If I have made any mistakes, please point them out and I will correct them.

This is true, and many expert recorder players would agree with me. Are you a player yourself?
