First Recorder Songs Information Sheet

Tonguing
To make a good clean sound on your recorder, you need to practice tonguing. At the beginning of each note, make a t sound with your tongue so that the note sounds nice and neat. The sound should start and finish perfectly evenly, like this line: You do not want your sound to look like this: Start your note with a t sound and finish your note by returning your tongue to where it was at the beginning of the t sound.
