To all the people who didn’t think recorder could be a good instrument with good pieces before, recorder has been around since the baroque period making it extremely old, it was used in quite delightful pieces and major classical composers also made some pieces for it, a lot which was covered up by the awful teaching of schools
ARandomMishMash _ thank you! More people should think this way. I am part of a baroque/renaissance music recorder ensemble and believe me, there is a vast variety of music that you can play and interpret sounding good with only recorders. It’s one of the most underrated instruments I know.
@@utha2665 Nope. The Western transverse flute and recorder are actually two completely different instruments with different origins. The transverse flute traces its roots back to Asia, whereas the recorder was invented in Europe. They were developed separately alongside one another. European artists ended up favoring the flute over the recorder, but the recorder is still a very unique instrument with a lot of potential. I'd like to see it play a greater role in music, perhaps with a modernization of the instrument like what was done with the flute and clarinet.
If the music teacher in primary school had showed us the potential of the recorder i reckon many children would have taken it much more serious, this kids awesome..
@Lawrence Of Canadia Hell yeah they would. I can already imagine them trying to imitate this musician and fail horribly, but hey they will have the motivation it takes to be proud of progressing, even if they play 1 correct note.

It's really sad to see a musical instrument stained so badly because some "school memories". Thank you for uploading this awesome video, let people know the recorder is a musical instrument like any other. Music shouldn't have "best or worst" instruments, after all, they all make art in their own form. Greetings from Colombia.
Oooh man, only further proving my point. Recorder is one of the easiest instruments to pick up, but one of the hardest to master. What hes doing is so impossible its not even funny! If you play recorder seriously youd see that, god hes amazing. Someday i wanna be just as good as him 😊
I cannot stress enough how difficult it is to sound this good on recorder; it takes about 5 times the work to get a good tone out of recorder compared to something like a clarinet or flute due to how delicate of an instrument the recorder is tone wise.
As someone who plays on recorder my whole life I am dissapointed that recorder is seen like some toy kids use in school and that someone may think it sounds awfull. I think that it is a very beautiful instrument. And this video proves it.
Probably because 99% of "Music Teachers" I see attempting to teach the Recorder can't even play it properly themselves. At all. You're honestly way better studying it on your own or better yet learning from an actual Professional.
And you don't even really have the name of the song down! It's 'Hot Cross Buns'. :D That is, unless there was some crazy scheme were the buns were double-crossed by a crescent roll or something. GlutenFellas?

It's actually easier to double tongue on a recorder than on a single reed instrument. At least that's how I first learned to do it.
