#2. Keep your recorder in “rest” position when
you’re not playing.
“Rest” position means your recorder is resting in
your lap.

Posture
Sit tall, or stand straight.
This helps us breathe deeply and get a good sound out of the recorder.

Breathing
Always take deep, low breaths. Breathe during rests and other breaks in the songs.

Making sounds
Place the mouthpiece in between your lips, with ½” in your mouth.
Whisper into the mouthpiece. Say “du-du-du” or “tu-tu-tu.”
Don’t blow too hard.

Caring for the Recorder
After playing, clean the inside with a swab or piece of cloth.
Occasionally wash the mouthpiece with warm, soapy water. Make sure to dry it afterwards.
