How to play We Shall Overcome on the recorder

This video was made to help my students learn to play we shall overcome on the recorder. To students: Please! Remember to have your left hand on the top! You can pause and rewind the video so you have time to practice each part. Don't forget to look at your music too! Good luck!

whats the baroque fingering for F? Can you do a lesson on it? Also how can you get a flat/sharp on the recorder? (covering a hole halfway seems to work but didnt you say it only causes a squeaky note it the hole is not cofered fully)

[musicteacher44]

The baroque fingering for F is still LH on the top. All fingers down, including your pinkie, but your right middle finger is up. You are absolutely right about the sharps and flats using the half hole positions. Since I only teach low C up to high D to my third graders, I haven't gone over the sharps and flats in any of my lessons. Did your recorder come with a fingering chart?

This is a German recorder. It is made by Emus. I tried as many recorders as I could, and this was by far the best sounding one. Unfortunately, they changed the recipe this year so they wouldn't fall apart as much, but they sound SOOOO bad. I will be switching to the Peripole Angle recorders for next year. They make both German and Baroque fingerings.

ure playin f wrong

[musicteacher44]

I use a German recorder which fingers F "T 123 1." Your recorder is probably Baroque and uses "T 123 1 3 p."

Nice:) Though I'm more accustomed to play it in C, this version is good, too. Actually, I think, this song sounds better on tenor recorder, doesn't it?
