PLN Addition - Recorder Resources

http://diteggiature-flauto-dolce.it/en/index.php

A massive index of fingerings and techniques for one of the most common general music instrument: the recorder. However, the recorder is more than just a headache inducing piece of plastic played by 3rd graders: the site includes historical resources, fingerings and alternate fingersing for different regions, makers, and time periods. Form a consort and have your students use recorders the way they were used back in their glory days! After it, it can't be worse than playing Hot Cross Buns for the hundredth time.

  1. What a fun site you found! I love playing the recorder, and have even more fun playing the recorder accurately. This site is an asset to those students who start on their plastic tubes and want to advance to the next stage. This is just a fun site to learn from.

  2. This is a great site for anyone teaching recorder. I appreciate that fingerings are available in a text-recorder version for visually impaired folks.
