I’m a vocalist that found you through Two Set on KZread. I‘ve always loved recoder so I stuck around and really appreciate the wide range of educational content you provide. Thanks for being awesome.

heh I found TwoSet because Sarah roasted them…

Hi Sarah, I'm not alone in having found your channel through TwoSet, who got me interested in classical music in the first place. Shortly after I purchased a recorder because I wanted a handy instrument I could play while rollerblading and not worry about accidentally damaging it. Only issue so far is that it doesn't handle windy days or high speeds so well. Thanks so much for your channel, it's some of the best content on KZread. As for your growth question, I know I may be of little help but my son does watch a lot of Shorts. Flicking open that double recorder and jamming on it feels right for that format, for example.

What glorious fun! Thank you. I found you on KZread when I searched for recorder lessons online, almost two years ago. I subsequently realized how wonderful and special you are, both as a teacher and a person, signed up to your Patreon, and never looked back. I am not active on other social media. 💖🏳️‍🌈

Greetings from Slovakia! I bought a tin whistle few years ago and while I was "on board" with this music instrument I was looking for some media content for it. My personal feed was however dominated solely by CutiePie videos so I tried to dig deeper and found you. You got my attention with your charisma, joyfulness and overall positivity. I completely understand your noticable exhaustion, but even if you ended the channel right away, I'd be grateful for it. Eight years, TONS of content, still relevant up to these days. Recorders are timeless.

I started watching after you did a "Medieval Math Music" thing a couple of years ago with Adam Neely. I've been enjoying each new vid ever since.

Sarah, I've been a viewer of your channel for something like two years. I like recorder music, and was searching YT for recorder covers of songs and such. Its mysterious algorithm brought me to your channel. Now I'm learning to play recorder. You turned a random recorder enjoyer into a newbie musician :-D

I'm a flute player abd I found you one day that I was studying trills in 2017, and saw your video on the topic and decided to stay because of how well you explained everything, and also because I was happy to find professional recorder players giving themselves a platform and a voice. Very empowering and admirable. I started recorder at 12 and it's one of my favorite instruments. I've never believed for a second that it is "just a kid instrument" and I always have known and seen its potential.

Hi Sarah! To answer your question: 3 years ago I found the old recorder my sister and I used to play with when we were children (play in the sense of to use as a toy, not to make music). I got curious to find out, how that stuff works. I searched the Internet to find some tutorials - and so I landed here. 😊 Its because of you I own a whole bunch of recorders today! Your motivating and inspiring videos have ignited a big passion for that amazing instrument in me! Thanks a lot for that!!! Greetings from Germany!

Found this page years ago from Davie504 when he reviewed you playing a bass recorder. I stayed. Even though I am a blues guitarist 🎸. Your voice is nice and calming 😌, and I like to hear others play there instruments. Also a bit of nostalgia from my ancient middle school days being forced to play a recorder for music class.

Same here! Bassist. Stayed here and at the end I started after 30 years to play recorder again.

I came in somewhere in the middle - maybe 6 years ago - when I bought my first recorder. That is to say, I found you doing a search in KZread looking for videos on how to play the recorder. Hopefully, newbies are finding your early videos also. Sometimes I sort of wish you would do beginner type videos again, but then I remember that you really covered everything, and I should just go back and rewatch them lol.

Greetings! I found Team Recorder on KZread over four, maybe five years ago. I am not sure how. I guess an Algorithm thing. I was so excited. I have played recorder (badly), or at least tried to my adult life off and on, and have never found another person who plays. I was inspired by Richard Harvey’s album, on vinyl when first released, Divisions on a Ground. That dates me somewhat. I have learned more about the recorder, and improved more, since encountering your channel than all the years prior together. This probably won’t help you with finding new followers, but at least it is some engagement points. Thanks for all the amazing content, and your enthusiasm.

Dear Sarah, I'm from Paris and Google presented me your KZread videos when I started searching for info about alto recorders. And when I realized that I was learning so much from you, I subscribed to your channel.

I found you after the twoset violin recorder videos on KZread and have been so thankful to have a resource to show our elementary school parents how cool recorders are!

I came after seeing the TwoSet KZread recorder roast video. I was enchanted by your response and personality, and was an adult musician learning to play flute at the time. Have become an avid recorder player and collector ever since. ❤

This channel was a KZread suggestion. I had searched for recorders, played some vids, and a few days later your channel popped up.

The KZread algorithm suggested your answer to 2setviolin to me, so I detected your channel back then in 2020 and was immediately hooked. Then I spent Thanksgiving Friday 20202 at Thomann in the middle of North Bavarian Nowhere, trying 12 different recorders in a separate Corona-isolated room, and bought 6 of them, among them my first owned basset. Moved on to participate in your 2 online courses and became a Patreon. Participating in Blockflötenfesttage 2022 and 2023, always adding to my recorder family. Firmly rooted in several FB recorder groups and enjoying the friendly tone there, much more nice than e.g. on Flute forum, let alone other non-music channels. I have zero inclination to install Tiktok. Instagram I find comparatively boring, as no interaction/ discourse.

I been following you so long I can't remember how I first found you. Most likely though was youtube. Don't do tttk. But I purchased a recorder a couple years ago with a book to teach myself how to play. What I found astonishing was that the book came with youtube tutorials led by you. You really helped me Sadly though I've had such a depressing 12 month I haven't picked up the recorder for a long time.

i bought a recorder recently (literally came in yesterday) and i was searching for tutorials. so far i'm loving the channel! eta: 9:30 i think ALL of us appreciate you doing that madness so we can live vicariously hahahahaha

My name is Ken, ILive in Pittsburgh PA. I'm a Go year old, 2nd Year violin player. I also play guitar, electric and acoustic. Prior trumpet and flute player in my younger Years - I found you through youtube. I love the sound of the recorder and I'm thinking about playing it on a serious level. I enjoy your product reviews and your playing - Keep up the amazing work that you are doing to promote your love for the instrument.❤😂

Greetings from Maine, USA!!! I found you after two years of watching Cutie Pie Tin Whistle and learning the whistle…I stumbled upon one of your recorder videos and fell in love with the instrument!!!❤ I now own a Yamaha soprano, alto, AND tenor, and I love all of them. I get so excited every time I see you have a new video out! Thank you for all your hard work and your amazing reviews and tutorials. I’ve learned so much this last year of watching you.

My wife plays recorder and I picked my old school recorder up one day and fiddled with it. Then started down a rabbit hole of research. Found your channel pretty quickly after that. We both now play the recorder.

I came when your video on the medieval flute popped up in my KZread feed. I watch a lot medieval and early modern history videos which is why I think the algorithm picked up on your video. I grew up playing the recorder but haven’t played much in years. You have renewed my interest in and love of the instrument. Plus I have learned so much.

I'm a tuba performance major, and I had gotten into recorders, you were one of the first and most accessible resources when it came to recorder on youtube and the internet in generalm

That was fun! I honestly don’t recall how I first found your channel. It’s been several years. I may have been searching for recorder content on KZread and “the algorithm” popped it up, or it may have been a mention in American Recorder Society’s magazine. As a longtime dabbler in recorders which has become mostly in liturgical music, I have learned a great deal from you and delight in watching and listening to you. Thanks for sharing with all of us!

Found you because I was looking for the fingerings on... you guessed it... the recorder! That was maybe like 6 years ago. I don't watch everything you post but it's always fun to come back and see what's up with you. And I got a lot of tips from you over the years and got pretty ok with my recorder so thank you for that ^^

You appeared in my KZread feed for no logical reason that I can think of other than I have a wide range of interests. I’ve been into early music for more than 50 years as a listener and I think I have done a KZread search for David Monrow and his Early Music Consort Which may have led to your channel appearing. I was born in England moved to Australia in the early 80s and I’ve lived here for 40 years. I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve seen from this channel. I used to play the modern, cheap steel and plastic version of the Flageolet and recorder. I played along to my folk music LPs of Steeleye Span and Alan Stivell.😊 As a baby boomer born in the 50s, the recorder was the standard musical instrument. Given the kids in primary schools I still love the recorder.

I am a forklift driver by day and hobbyist music producer by night. Late 30's. Been watching KZread since forever. Recently have been learning about all kinds of instruments by randomly searching and learning as much as I can. A few weeks ago your video popped up and I was so lucky to click. Instantly could tell you are a thoughtful educator with a special consideration for clear and accurate communication. Also it is so fun to learn from you because you bring such a joyous energy. Even as writing this the end of the video had me laughing 😆 I'm already wondering if I should make a fan track for ya. If that sounds like fun then feel free to tell me what you would want. I could make intro beat or intermission music or resample your recorder playing 😊 Be well and thank you for your work.

I found you on KZread when I was looking for recorder lessons. So glad I did!

I’ve watched your channel ever since I came to the Netherlands and some of your Dutch Recorder things came up on my recommended. Your channel kinda sparked my interest in baroque music, then contemporary music and as a result just made me take music as a whole more seriously. I’m so grateful for that, because when I came here I was thinking of giving up the flute and I just last week got my Grade 8 result back (merit!!) and have started learning traverso!! So thank you Sarah :) know that whenever I go to a niche contemporary or Renaissance concert I always have an eye out to see if I’ll meet my hero ❤

I started teaching flute-classorchester at the Waldorfschool in Erlangen Germany and searched for help and found you on KZread. When i went to Primary shool, i, let's say: hated the flute. Now i love it. You helped me out❤

I found you three and half years ago when I decided to learn to play an instrument during the covid lockdowns. A performer I greatly admire (Lindsey Stirling) suggested doing something creative with all the extra time we'd been given "Bloom where you're planted" is what she said. I searched KZread for recorder lessons and your channel was top of the list. I learned my first songs "Amazing Grace" and "Au du la Lune" from you and everything took off from there. I now have 6 recorders (3 sopranos, 2 tenors and 1 alto) I play at least an hour every day. I'm not very good but I get enormous joy from playing. Found and fell in love with Irish music and got a copy of O'Neill's. Trying to learn one new song per week. At that rate I'll be 99 when I've played them all. ;) I'm 64 and live in Texas USA.

Congratulations on enjoying your recorder 🤗 Just one thing: it's "Au clair de la lune". French "Clair" is related to English "clear"; in French it either means a light colour, or the actual light, so "clair de lune" is moonlight, and "Au clair de la lune" means "by the light of the moon". Here are the lyrics translated: By the light of the moon My friend Pierrot (Pete) Lend me your pen To write a word My candle is dead I don't have any fire Open your door For the love of God! By the light of the moon Pierrot answered I don't have a pen I'm in my bed Go the neighbour I think she's there Because in her kitchen Someone is striking a light As far as I know the song stops there. We'll never know what the neighbour said, or whether she had a pen or not... (I think the neighbour was striking a flint and steel, to make a spark, to light the kitchen fire - this would have been before matches.)

I am an amateur recorder and tinwhistle player. I mostly play and compose folkdance music for waltzing, cause it is easy and I love waltzing. I have forgotten, why I found Team Recorder, but it can have been in connection to listening to other recorder stuff on You Tube. I love your vibes, ways of explaining and telling things AND your language. You are right about the composer gene waking, by the thought of what we can use the telescope flutes for. Some pieces may need a helper to drag and push, I guess.

I went to KZread and searched up if proper covers of the recorder existed bcos it sounds so bad in school but I believed in its potential and there I found your channel.

I'm in the UK. Found you on KZread about four years ago. Have been a regular viewer ever since. Love your channel and your enthusiasm for all things recorderish 😀.

I found a plastic recorder I had bought many years ago and forgotten about it. I looked for instructions on KZread and found your channel. I still cannot play the recorder, sorry, but I do play guitar, piano, and violin. I have learned to appreciate the sound of the recorder and I hear it in several compositions that I never associated with it. I enjoy your channel and maybe, some day, I will learn to play it.

I think I found you directly on KZread around 2015. I had been playing the recorder since 2007, I believe, and you probably popped up in my recommendations. I was thrilled to see there are videos covering stuff that nobody was talking about at the time.

Found you directly on KZread after searching for info on treble recorders! 😀 So happy I did! ❤️

Found you in 2020 when I was looking for YT tutorials for the tin whistles I bought at an Irish fest. Remembered how much I liked the recorder in elementary school and bought one online to start learning. I honestly did not know that there were professional recorder players before that.

I teach in the USA. Recorder resources are rare in my area. You are my primary source when I'm teaching recorder. I found your channel doing a KZread search, just looking for recorder music to show my students that recorders are "real" instruments.

i simply found you by looking up "how to choose a recorder" after very impulsively coming up with the idea of buying one :) needless to say, looking into your channel solidified that decision instantly, seeing that you have posted such a wealth of information that's accessible even to complete beginners. i love how encouraging your attitude is, and your videos are always really fun to watch!

I found your channel with this video about building a recorder from a carrot! Wonderful! Someone shared it in my recorder ensemble. A regular viewer since from southern Germany.

I found you many years ago when I was playing in a recorder consort & searched KZread for recorder content. And all these years later I'm still really enjoying the videos so more power to you!

😂 What a funny ending! I had tears in my eyes. Why am I watching your channel? Because you're genius!

Found you at KZread a few years ago, when I was looking for information on recorder playing. There was not so much competition then, now this has improved a bit.

I wanted to learn an instrument coz I had no exposure in my childhood. I was scrolling YT vids to figure out which is cheapest and most portable full fledged instrument. Cheapest coz I'm broke and portable coz I have to travel a lot for work and Ryanair charges extra to carry a grand piano. I came across your channel that way. Heard Daphne. I was like this is it. This is what I wanna learn. Also, coz I had no musical exposure in my childhood like many others were forced to learn the recorder, I was not biased against it. I'm so happy I took it up. You can go so far with it with so very little investment, which is perfect for those like me!

I can't remember where I found thid channel, have been following you for more than 5 years

Hi Sarah - the You Tube algorithm recommended one of your videos a number of years ago (your room was still yellow), and I have been a fan ever since. But it did take me until last year to finally start learning to play. I very much appreciate the wonderful content and your joyful presentation. Recorders are awesome! 😊

I've been a viewer for a good few years now. I think I found the channel when you responded to TwoSet bagging out the recorder and have stayed for all the recorder related goodness!

I discovered you on KZread a couple of months ago, Sarah. Although I don't remember exactly how, it well may have been at KZread's suggestion while I was watching Michala Petri videos. Your channel's a real joy, Sarah. You've restarted my decades-dormant recorder playing. Thank you! ❤

I am so happy to have found you! Your videos are delightful and VERY informative! I was searching for videos of Middle Eastern Neys- and came across your video (it was amazing). I am actually a long time recorder player and studied Baroque recorder. I saw your channel was Teamrecorder, spent the next two hours watching you- what a treasure trove. The Contrabass video was fantastic, I’ve seen them played in concerts but never got such a close up and informative view. Thank you!

Genius, Sarah. btw i found you with my old friend Serendipity. I even pay for KZread premium, so no adverts and I watch as much tube as live tv. Who knows where it will take me next. My favourites at the moment are you, obviously, autoshenanigans and Laurie Berkner (for my grandson). Plus all the gaming news, model railway channels, car reviews and computer drooling.

I found you channel looking for information on practising, specifically playing scale on the cello (my instrument, I'm just learning). I didn't specify "cello" in my search, just "practising scales", and I found you video on scales, and I started binge watching your channel (it was 2 or 3 years ago). You've inspired me a lot in my practise, even if I play a completely different instrument. Lots of your advice translate to the strings (I just use "bow control" instead of "breath"). And don't tell anyone, but I bought an alto and soprano recorder, and I mess with them from time to time...

I've been hanging around here for 2 or 3 years, but I first met you in a facebook (i think) group where you answered a question I had about trills. You gave me such a wealth of helpful information that I found your page and joined Team Recorder, and I'm a much better player and musician for it. 😀

Just what I didn't realise I'd always wanted - the compact rapid deployment flute. Impressive. I think the KZread algorithm decided to send me your way based on some other stuff in my subs (the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, for instance) three, perhaps four years ago. Sometimes it's good that way, other times not so much.

I found your channel 6 years ago when you released your video on the largest recorder the sub contrabass in Bb. I was in high-school at the time and I played the saxophone in band. For music class, my music teacher brought my class to an Early music concert at a chapel somewhere in Toronto. One of the instruments that blew me away was the renaissance tenor recorder. So I went on youtube to look up more videos on the recorder and found your video! 😊

I found you last year when I was trying to figure out something on my tin whistle and turned up one of your videos (unfortunately, I cannot remember what I was trying to figure out or which video, but I do remember it helped me!). At the time, I had no idea recorders were "real" instruments rather than something my fourth grade classmates played with when a bunch of us were in choir or band practice - but I was intrigued and I've since been learning soprano and now alto recorder, and I am in so much love. It's also really revived my interest in early music! I want to learn tenor and eventually bass recorder as well. I'm so glad I found your channel.

I can't remember how I came across you! I just love musical instruments, especially woodwinds, so I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say that I found you directly on YT while searching for woodwind stuff! I've been on a couple of your courses which you may remember. Good to see you're still active!

I found you looking for someone to teach me and my daughter the recorder. So glad I did.

I can't remember exactly how I found your KZread channel, but I must have drifted in from somewhere in the viola da gamba world, which is where I've hung my hat for several decades now. Long ago, I played the recorder pretty seriously. It's nice to be back in touch with what's been happening in recorderland while I've been preoccupied with bowed strings.

Your channel came up in a KZread search a few months ago, when looking for beginner tutorials - particularly on how to hold them properly; and you have a lot of good content. Thank you!

I don't remember how I first heard of you, probably random youtube recommendations like 7 years ago, though I either unsubscribed or never subscribed so I forgot about the channel until I re-discovered the paetzold and remembered this channel, I still am very much into the bass-y air instruments and I really wanna make and play such instruments in the future (though materials are a bit expensive to just wing it for me)

I came from 2set Violin on KZread to Team Recorder when you ROASTED them! 😂 This year I visited your workshop at Mollenhauer in Fulda/Germany. 😊

KZread recommended your posts … probably because I play a lot of recorder videos 😁 thanks for demonstrating the telescopic instruments. Now I want them all!

About 6 years back caught a preview of you at the end of an unrelated KZread video. Whenever it was, you did a nice review of tenor recorders. I had never thought of recorders (or any musical instrument) before but very impressed with the quality of the tones played on that video, as well as your amazing enthusiasm. Watched a few more of your videos and eventually decided I'd like to try it, so I bought a Mollenhauer Denner tenor (with keys) from Early Music in California. If I had to guess, I'd say you got me started about March, 2018. The video I watched was a bit older: "Getting started on the tenor recorder." Certainly glad it popped up on my screen. Am not particularly great at playing it, but enjoy it. In the process learned how to read music, which I'd not done since high school chorus (baritone + base) some 60+ years ago. Have since picked up a lot of recorder music on CDs and the Apple store including yours.

Since I love Early Music, Baroque recorder in particular, the KZread algorithm, years ago suggested your channel. The fact that you're professional, authoritative, & the good kind of didactic would have been enough. The icing on the cake is that your accent & physical beauty delights me. You & your husband interact in a cute way, too. Thanks for it all.

Hi I’m a musician and you popped up in my youtube recommended a few years ago and I’ve been enjoying learning about recorder from you.

My flute (!) teacher recommended your channel. We both are enjoying your videos. )))

I’m 19 now so it’s been awhile, but I’m pretty sure I found you in late middle school from your “choosing a plastic recorder” video!

Loved your channel for years! I came from watching flute channels and your video learning the flute and ive been watching since. You're great!

Hello Sarah, I don't use social media like Facebook etc. From somewhere deep in the magic computer algorithms a video of you popped up on KZread when I was looking for recorder tutorials. I Like the fresh way in which you present your 'stuff' ánd you really helped me with playing better by using your 'tips'. 🙂

I am a violinist and found you through Twoset Violin years ago, and so, so enjoyed you and the recorder, that I have since acquired for myself many a recorder from sopranino to bassette to enjoy.

I searched for 'sopranino' on KZread 5 years ago, found your channel, binge-watched all of your videos and started to play the recorder 🧡

I found you on KZread i think because I watch twoset violin. And you made me remember how much I liked playing recorder as a kid.

I found you through TwoSetViolin. And, I am glad you made a video explaining about the recorder world. Thanks for these awesome videos!!! Please continue doing more.

I found this flute on Etsy and searched it on KZread and found you, again. I found you the same way with the EWI-100 from Amazon. Thank you.

I found you on KZread when I was looking for recorder stuff. I don't use any other social media, just YT. I'm watching from Germany. I once was an oboist but due to my health condition I can't play no more. So I came back to the recorder knowledge I had in my school days and learnt so much through your great channel and am still learning. Thank you very very much for all the great work you do here, you made me happy playing a woodwind instrument again and this is becoming more and more important for me! Warm greetings from Bayreuth 💙 bless you! 🌻

I think I discovered your channel probably a year or two into its existence while browsing through KZread for recorder info. I became a fan because of your unique personality, your obvious great knowledge of music and your talent for explaining musical concepts. Your videos are often great fun, and also so informative. I doubt if I could get on Tic Toc- I’m too old and I’d screw with their demographics. I’ll happily enjoy your work here. Thanks for all you do.

I came completely randomly through KZread. I think I was thinking about playing the recorder as a child and there you were

I found Team Recorder some years ago here on KZread by surfing for performances of recorder pieces. I dropped in to see whether it was quality content not expecting much, but I was very surprised. I checked out the video archive for the channel and was very impressed. There was fingering for the third octave, knowledgeable reviews of different models, and suggestions for recorder method books. I was sold, and I've been checking in frequently, often watching the new videos and even old ones I hadn't seen yet. Sometimes I even re-watch videos I especially liked. The reactions to Two Set Violin and Davie504 are among my favorites. "This is a bass recorder. But will it bass? No, not really." Such fun!

Discovered you waaay back when. Possibly your very earliest videos- when you did them sitting on a bed. No idea how I discovered you! I’m active in promoting early music, and a busy amateur recorder player.

It was January this year when I was mooching through KZread for recorder info, or it might have been a link from flute-mooching cos my mate gave me a flute which had been gathering dust for 5 years. It's costing me a ton in lessons. Anyway, found you (yippeee!) then got distracted by one of your whistle reviews so have been into diddly-diddly and Fiesta Pagana since then but back into recorders again. I love the sound and the elegant simplicity of two chromatic octaves without a single key. Pondering squandering the wine fund on a Mollenhauer soprano Waldorf-Edition to step up to a nice recorder (from a Hohner in wood/plastic) and put loot aside for a Denner alto.

My name's Mark and I'm a recorder player... I follow lots of early music on KZread, so the algorithm served you up about ?7 years ago, and I've been following since then.

I found your channel a few years ago when I was starting to learn to play the tin whistle and quickly decided I wanted a chromatic alternative. Your videos explained everything I could possibly want to know about the recorder and then some! I finally took the plunge and got my first recorder after watching your Star Wars songs tutorial, since I thought the cantina song looked very fun and the D whistle wasn't going to cut it. I've been playing the recorder and watching your channel ever since! Thanks so much for all your amazing content, it's truly a gift 💕

I started following you quite a few years ago. Found through searching on KZread as I was trying to set up a recorder group. Stayed because you've always been so interesting!

I found your channel through KZread recommendations. I like watching musical "explainer" type creators like Adam Neely, so the algorithm must have picked up on that!

What a great and funny video - once again! No tictoc, no Instagram, I'm a good old youtube nerd always looking for new recorder solos to transcribe and a hunter-gatherer of recorder stuff of all kinds - and thus of course a loyal customer of your channel :-D (My favourite video (and that of my daughter): "The 10 types of..."))

I found you on KZread five or six years ago. I always liked the recorder, since my childhood, but I started to play a bit more in the past few years. Your channel has been so precious for me on my journey! Thank you!

Hi Sarah, I found your channel when it appeared in my KZread feed after posting my own musical offerings. Keep up the good work!

You have been my go-to recorder channel for a year now, I found you when I was looking for a recorder buying guide. I've enjoyed every video you've made since then!

Thanks for the reviews! Found you on youtube because of musical interests. the algorithm worked in our favor!

Hi Sarah! I found your channel using youtube's search mechanism because I was interested in playing recorder without sounding like a child 😂 Thanks for your videos!

I came to your channel when you posted your reaction to Twoset's recorder vs violin video. Been watching ever since!

I just love that video!! I laughed to tears!! That is why I love your YT channel: so informative, yet so entertaining, you are a genious! I found you about a year ago when I came back to the recorder and looked for some informations. Then I binge watched all your videos 😊 and I discovered TwoSet Violins because of you 😉 I prefer your videos though, not just because they are about the recorder

Regarding the in-video Q: I'm an odd one out, I suspect. I stumbled upon the channel among YT recommendations. I am not a flute player. Not even a musician. Although I have a tin whistle. But I am a physicist who studied fluid dynamics (flute does vortex shedding and resonance) and I investigated auditory neuroscience (frequency perception, where a whistle is fairly close to a pure tone), maybe that explains it. Or just the fact that I am dutch and I like to support channels on slightly not-so-mainstream topics (yeah sorry, your quest isn't over yet). 😉

Hello Sarah, I have been watching your videos on you tube for a few years. I found you on you tube while browsing, my interest having been arroused by finding my old Priestley and Fowler school recorder books. I was in the recorder group and indeed the only male, at that time it was considered a thing for the girls but I always enjoyed being controversial, but the best fun was bellting out "He who would valiant be' or 'Onward Christian Soldiers. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos although I don't play now as I am busy with piano lessons and just past my grade three, that said I recently found my mother's Schot tenor so who knows

These are cool. I found you by searching on KZread for recorder lessons. I had played sax, clarinet, and flute when younger (not that well) so thought I'd give recorder a try. After watching some of your content teaching recorder I just enjoyed your personality and enthusiasm so much I subscribed. (You helped me discover digital recorders which, as a casual player, I love!). Thanks, Sarah 💜

It was during the pandemic (I don't remember when exactly, those years are a blur), your videos popped up on my KZread explore page and I binged any that existed up to that point. I don't actually play the recorder (or any flute for that matter) but it's still interesting to watch.

These are amazing - love them so much. They have such potential for so many people. Travelling with these would be great!

I found this channel yrs ago by just searching recorders.... I have been watching ever since

Just in time for Christmas! Fun for the whole family!
