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!

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.

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

I just bought a second-hand treble recorder. I was in a Junior school recorder choir back in the 60s and really missed playing

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!!!

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

Thank you!

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

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.

Wow,this teacher looks like a prince :p

I suggest annotating this lesson with note names.

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

I bought this recently it is a very unique soprano and sounds amazing - mollenhauer/adris dream 0119r

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.

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 ?

Part 2?

Hi do you have a week 2

Are there 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.

Its in the key of F

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

Funny how you call a treble an alto!

Sarah Jeffrey said that in England they call the alto as tenor.
