How do I play a lullaby on a recorder?

Look up sheet music to lullabies, such as "Mary Had A Little Lamb." This is an easy lullaby to start with. As you learn more and more, you can move on to more difficult songs.

Question

How do you play a lullaby on the recorder?

Community Answer

Look up lullabies on the recorder on a search engine, and some labeled sheet music will probably show up in the "Images" tab, or you can follow the link to a website. Find one that you know the notes for, or look up the notes if you want.

Question

How do I play the notes D and C on the recorder?

Community Answer

D = cover all holes except for the last hole. Or, uncover all holes except for the second hole. C = cover all the holes. Or, cover the holes that correspond with your left thumb and your left middle finger.

Question

How do you fix a squeaky sound?

Ruby

Top Answerer

The squeaks come from not covering the holes completely. This gets better with practice. Press your fingers on the holes firmly then see if you can see circles on your fingers. If you can, then you know you are probably covering the holes properly.
