Virtual Alto Recorder Lessons: Week 1 

Thank you so much for making this video. I am 66 and new to playing any instrument. I have just received my alto recorder. I found your site and have only just watched your G scale video (going over parts many times) but I can actually follow along and do it myself. I have enough instruction to practice for the week. Your teaching style is straight forward and so easy to understand. you exude patience. and there is no editorializing. just good information and advice. thank you. I feel lucky to have found this site.

Thanks for your help, I was looking for videos about it, and I finally found it. I am 52 years old.

I just completed your first video on learning to play the alto recorder. It was fantastic! Your teaching style is exactly what I need…very patient, steady, and a perfect pace. PLEASE do more videos! You’re an excellent instructor!

Excellent video. I'm 63 and the alto recorder is my first instrument. Please do the other weeks!

This is great, I have just bought a Treble recorder, I am learning the flute around grade 2 its hard, and remembered playing recorder 60 years ago at school and memories came back and decided I needed something different to play and have fun with. X

The absolute best lesson I’ve seen so far! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video!! You made it easy and fun to learn the notes. I look forward to many more videos as you are a great teacher!!!

thank you for your work and time to share your knowledge!!!! I learn alto recorder by miself, your videos help me to better understand the instrument and technique!!

hey its will i commented before friday thanks for going over the basics

Great tutorial on how to practice a scale. Thank you!

waiting for the new videos :) thanks for teaching this :) you are pretty entertaining to listen to

Thank you!

Thank You

So hard to remember compared to a soprano. It's like knowing what letters go before and after a random one in the alphabet, I have to work it out every single time.

Tq.

I suggest annotating this lesson with note names.

Wow,this teacher looks like a prince :p

Doesn't make sense to simply ignore fingering lowest note F. Needs some visual aids: finger chart, diagrams, slides of notes, etc.;

Part 2?

Well, shit, I have bad wrists looks like I'm going to have to use the piercing soprano recorder. My hands are also quite small

My husband bought me a treble recorder and i cant find any basic tutorials online. So I’m delighted to see this. Will you be doing more videos ?

Hi do you have a week 2

Why do you use F sharp instead of high F? I have been learning F instead with thumb and middle finger holes.

Do you have a chart link for the alto notes? The charts I am seeing online seem to be different from the ones you are showing us. I know I am not looking at the right ones.

Are there a week 2 ?

Funny how you call a treble an alto!

What key is tbe alto recorder in please ?
