Recorder Technique 1. Right hand on the bottom 2. Left hand on top 3. Fingers are flat..finger pads over holes slight squeeze 4. Hold recorder close to your body. (Elbows by side) 5. Recorder points to the ground…your head is up 6. (Embouchure) No teeth! Lips only. “Grandma lost her teeth and ate a lemon” (cover teeth with lips…lips barely touch mouthpeice. 7. Controlled and steady breath. Gentle breeze. Not Hurricane breath. 8. (Tonguing) Whisper “t” to separate notes from each other…(no owl hoo hoo’s) 9. Eyes on the music…not your neighbor…They might not know it either. 10. Start and stop at the same time. Watch conductor for cut off. Musicians who keep playing after the stop in the orchestra get FIRED!
