No, not a tape recorder...
Anyway, since Heartsablaze started his piano thread I thought I'd start my recorder thread.
I've had a soprano recorder for ages but never got very far trying to figure it out alone. I noticed recorder classes at the local senior center ( I am just barely old enough at fifty, thankyouverymuch.) and decided to take one. Well, they are working on alto recorders which I can't yet afford but I got to sit in and try on someone else's. Since I never played a wind instrument (percussion rules!) I hadn't known what I was doing wrong. But I picked up a few pointers that made a world of difference.
I've been working on soprano (different fingering) with a lesson book I'd picked up a few weeks earlier at a library sale. I'm doing pretty good. having issues with the lower register but I think I'm getting it. The noise is recognizable at notes and I can tell a big difference.
I still love percussion but I admit I now wish I'd tried woodwinds way back when - my sight reading is a LOT better.
