Learning the recorder from scratch: where to start

The recorder is one of the easiest instruments to start with: you can make a first sound in minutes. The hard part is doing it in order, so here are the usual starting points.

1. Before you blow

Start with how to hold the recorder and how to blow: gently and steadily, without forcing the air. A hard breath makes the note shrill and out of tune. In the app, the first level is called “Before you blow” and covers exactly that.

2. The first notes, from few fingers to more

A common order is to begin with the notes played with few fingers: B (thumb and one finger), A (two fingers) and G (three), and then high C and D. With three or four notes you can already play the first simple songs. Mi Flauta Dulce follows that path: each new note is studied with its fingering and exercises, and then practiced in songs.

3. Baroque (English) or German fingering

There are two fingering systems for the recorder, Baroque (also called English) and German. They agree on most notes and differ on a few, such as F, so a recorder of one type is played with the chart for that type. What matters is knowing which recorder you have and using its fingering. In the app you choose the one that matches yours.

4. A little every day

A few minutes every day beat one long session. First you listen to the note or the exercise, then you play it slowly, and only when it comes out right do you speed up. In the app, the microphone listens to what sounds and marks what is going well.
