I guess you mean to say "Your LEFT thumb goes on the hole on the back of the recorder...."

[kalbossa]

THERE IS A HOLE ON THE BACK OF THE RECORDER!!  THERE IS A HOLE ON THE BACK OF THE RECORDER!!!!!! OMG THERE IS A HOLE ON THE BACK OF THE RECORDER!!

[MissCrabyCake]

Yay! A way I can learn notes. I used to play with a recorder when i was MUCH younger, and am now just getting into it. I've been doing something where You are directly told where to put your fingers. I want to learn to read notes again because I can only do so much with the other method without paying.

[MonakoSM]

You are AMAZING You made this SO Much easier for me since I just found my old recorder! Much better then the other lessons. THANK YOU!

[arjanioo]

Thx very much for uploading the lessons, man! I'm 24, writing from Hungary(Europe), and just figured it out, that i want to play an instrument, starting with the recorder. I just borrowed my girlfriend's today, and now i can start to learn how to play it thanks to you. So big up

[RawkinOutt]

Is it bad that I'm almost 18, sitting here playing on this instrument? I'm a musician at heart, I play Guitar, drums, and piano (badly) and I want to expand my knowledge in every direction.. But is this really worth it?

[MrGilliardMusic]

Yes, it's worth it....especially if you enjoy it.
