bass recorder.
These instruments are usually played in a recorder ensemble
known as a recorder consort to make music on your recorder.
Use a gentle steady airstream,
Let's practice making an airstream.
Sit on the front edge of your chair with both feet on the floor.
Make sure your spine is tall,
your chin is level and your shoulders are relaxed back and down
while holding your recorder in one hand.
Place the palm of your other hand close to your lips.
Now pretend to take a drink of air filling your belly.
Keep your jaw relaxed and let the air stream flow out through
your lips onto your palm,
slow and steady as if you are gently blowing soup in a spoon to
cool it down.
Now do the same thing again.
But this time start your airstream by pretending to say a soft
do with your tongue. Stop the air with a silent D.
This is called tongue ng.
Your airstream should have a clear start and stop and it should
flow steadily into your palm.
