Playing The Recorder In Tune

Description

This guide introduces clear, practical strategies and exercises to help you explore how your own recorder behaves: which notes tend to be sharp or flat, whether the instrument overall runs a bit high or low, and how small adjustments (breath, temperature or even fingerins) affect pitch. 

You'll also build a stronger, more reliable sense of pitch—something that makes a real difference when you're playing with others or deciding if a new recorder is worth buying. No complicated equipment needed: just download a free electronic tuner (step-by-step instructions included) and follow along at your own pace. 

Whether you're preparing for ensemble playing, refining your solo practice, or simply curious about why certain notes feel "off," these tools give you concrete ways to listen more carefully, make informed choices, and enjoy playing with greater confidence and control.
