@@moldugam Yes it does, I also play sax and clarinet, and recorder is very difficult to begin with. I suspect he's had more than one lesson ... LOL ...
Very lovely chemistry, but also useful information about the recorder. Thanks for bringing in your husband. It was fun listening to your music together.
Sax....a brassy recorder. You two are so talented!!! And the chemistry is way cute! Thanks for the lessons for adults. I tend to practice too fast, too; hence, I have a metronome. I...umm...can't find my ancient ST, so I use one on my cell phone.
I spent YEARS to learn that goddamn Bourrèe and he played it almost perfectly at the first attempt... Anyway, this video is very very funny and your husband is too
Happy to see another J-O-N, though at age 77 (b. 1942) I had the name before JON (as a name) was cool. Unlike most JONs, I am not a "Jonathan" (My mom did not have a clue, but tended to march to a different drummer.) I did, however, turn out to be a violinist and eventually also a violist. I briefly tried recorder while I was in college, but someone stole my one and only instrument. I wonder if that was a nearby dorm floor mate exercising his critic instincts.
This is a super fantastically helpful video! More like this would be divine. Love watching you teach and I’m definitely picking up tips for my own teaching. And hoping next time Jon comes out of his shell a little bit. ;-)
Thanks Sarah, lovely video with the most challenging student, those close to you. Jon seems to me a fast learner. Not always the easiest to deal with. I look forward to his progress , will he be up to sticking with the recorder? Will we see both Jon and Bodil at the recorder summer school at Bishop Burton in Yorkshire?
As an uneducated person trying to teach herself how to read notes (I feel like a toddler really) can you give me tips on where to start? I bought this book that says "easy muziek lessons" but in the second chapter they ramble about tempo and I am not ready for that! I barely know the names of the notes yet. I drew the G key notes on my bathroom wall and am practicing an app daily for the where the notes on the lines are but I struggle to find music that I can play. All theory is not how I learn. Maybe you can guide me to some easy sheet music? Thanks in advance! I really enjoy your video's and thanks to you, I wanted to try and see I if can learn to play music. 💖
I love it! You two are brill! More! Play the Batch in the original version, then twin it with the Ian Anderson/Jethro Tull version, then freak out completely with some jazzy, rocky improvisation to finish ;) I've just got an Adri's Dream inexpensive plastic jobbie, arrived today, and it's going to be an excellent kick-ass blues and jazz recorder. I'm getting used to it already. The big holes are really bend-friendly. JS Batch!!! Yay! Or Johnny Brook, perhaps... It's enough to make a Bach book a Deed Poll...
Couple of little points here, if I may (maybe you all already knew all this?). In case anyone did not: - 1) Renaissance and Baroque woodwind players (of *all* woodwind instruments in those times - and yes, that included the time of BACH (J.S.)... or 'Batch' if you really must (lol!) - yes they all had to fully contend with (and be adept with) all the 'subtleties' of *forked fingerings* (as these are nowadays called) and 'pinched notes' (hole or holes only partially covered) as *standard*... right through until well into the nineteenth century - with the coming of *keywork* [For players of BRASS instrunents: *natural* trumpets and horns for example - things were even more problematic ... until the invention of VALVES - well into the nineteenth century also ... but that's another whole subject all by itself!) 2) Every decent tutor book - for, again, *any* woodwind instrumemt (and including the recorders) today should really include not only fingering charts or diagrams (of some kind) but also a standard 'table of shakes' (or TRILLS if you prefer) ... to be used as 'alternative fingerings' only for this really and not for the passages of main straight ('unadorned' or 'trill-less') melody.
You two are funny and adorable. What are the Recorder instruments both of you are playing, especially the one John is playing but looks like it's wood on the bottom and blue plastic on the top?
This is hilarious, and brilliant. But I wonder how long the video actually took to film, because I would be dying of laughter and unable to concentrate
Very Enjoyable video ma'am. Loved it! But If possible can you also upload your performance of the piece as a separate video itself, maybe like a RUclips short, Instagram reel etc. Thanks again ma'am.. Love from India! 🇮🇳❤️
Repeat view. Funny as F (that's flute of course, of the non-transversal kind). And, Ms. Jefry, what's in a name in the country of mispronunciation and mispelling where a couple hundred years later Shakespeare's texts don't rhyme and rhythm any longer in the speak of the day - this dance originally is called "Bourrée" - double r. Also by Jon S Batch in his urtexts The single r may have been introduced by this brit-pop group J. Tool but their excuse is they only used the first 8 bars
A non-recorder player who happens to be French here passing by, just to clarify that 'Bourrée' doesn't mean 'butter' in French but 'drunk (and because there's two E's in the end it refers to a female gender)'. Butter in French is 'Beurre' and it's pronounced almost like the english word 'Purr' but with a B instead of a P. I do realize that French lessons has nothing to do with Recorder and I apology for that.
Now here are a few next questions once you are certain of your fingering: what is the tempo of a bourrée ? Did they really still danced on those dances and what would that do with the tempi and metrum if they weren't or were ( in the Baroque that is, since it is Bach afterall and not the Renaissance ) ? And the two first notes of the bourrée ... aren't they suppose to be played as an upbeat ?
The dances that are usually written by bach and other composers (like chopins ballades) are not meant to be danced to, they are abstracted dances. Hope this helps!
@@BB-xm8jc Indeed, I agree, but let us not compare Bach with Chopin who lived almost 200 years later, let's leave Fréderik's mazurkas in their own time and style and stick to roughly ca. 1600-1750 period shall we ? And that is still 150 years. The answer to "were they danced" is: we are not entirely sure. It certainly depended to what purpose the music was written for. For theaters or at a nobles court: the answer would be undoubtly yes. Why did Bach write this music for ? He left Weimar and went to Köthen in 1717. Could anyone dance upon this music ? Sure. Would that be the case here ? Ehmm ... maybe not or maybe it depends how you play it.
How you're saying the name of Bach, you're actually calling him : Jean-Sébastien Tarp. Why do you want to add an "e" at the end of the word ? We just say : Bac - with an "a" like in the word bath.
@@cassandrathomas6015 Yes, thank you, I've understood this - that's not what I said. I was just pointing out the funny translation of his French pronunciation.
@@cassandrathomas6015 And by the way, French people are terrible at pronouncing foreign names - specially German ones. We don't say : Barrrr, with with a guttural "r", but Bac, with a "c" at the end.

Jon is one challenging student with all his mischief making! When will we see a family trio with Bodil?
Hahaa that is a great idea 😄
Sarah plays Jon's instruments: *angry goose noises*
Jon plays Sarah's instrument: Aight, let's do some Bach
If you can already play clarinet and sax then recorder comes pretty naturally.
@@SeekerLancer Not for me it didn't, except for breath support and reading music, I found little crossover.
If that's him playing after one lesson ... when can I book in?
Hi, I'm Sarah's agent, there is no booking, what you mean?
I think the reason he was able to play good so quickly is cuz he played the sax and the notes are similar between sax and recorder
I hope the way I put it makes sense...
@@moldugam Yes it does, I also play sax and clarinet, and recorder is very difficult to begin with. I suspect he's had more than one lesson ... LOL ...
@@Robyn19fnq Sarah said on the start that he had lessons as a kid :)
It would be very interesting to hear the two of you doing a clarinet-tenor recorder duet.
Good idea!
Your husband is hillarious! Love Salo
Very lovely chemistry, but also useful information about the recorder. Thanks for bringing in your husband. It was fun listening to your music together.
Sax....a brassy recorder. You two are so talented!!! And the chemistry is way cute! Thanks for the lessons for adults. I tend to practice too fast, too; hence, I have a metronome. I...umm...can't find my ancient ST, so I use one on my cell phone.
I spent YEARS to learn that goddamn Bourrèe and he played it almost perfectly at the first attempt...
Anyway, this video is very very funny and your husband is too
he's a professional sax player which uses the same fingering
@@timverma Not even close :D
@@asukalangleysoryu6695 She says in the video where he teaches her sax that the fingering is the same though
Well he's a professional wind musician
No recorder piece should take years to learn if you practice enough
I could see he was a double dotter from the first time I saw him. Great guy, and great musician.
Ohh, he’s a double dotter!
You two are adorable. :-) With DNA from you both, Bodil may actually exceed some scientifically defined cuteness maximum, so fair warning there.
Awww ☺️
Hilarious! So fun! And such wonderful music.... and teaching an already-professional-musician! :)
Piece which they played is Bach Lute Suit in E minor,BWV 996:V. Bourree😊
Nice Episode! More Jon!
aaaaaa finally i've found my favorite recorder channel, i'm crying with happiness.... love your videos!
What a joy, you two are perfect together, what a great match. 😜🤪
The bach (batch) joke was way funnier than I know it is LOL.
lovely, I like John very much he is so funny x

I'm so glad I came across this channel a few weeks ago. Attempting to learn recorder has never been so much fun.
Recorder+clarinet duet???
That's more than amazing that you share the same passion for recorder with your husband, and thank you for all the videos you share Sarah
Stellar student!
You two are so funny together!
what I think I sound like: 5:42
what I actually sound like: 5:44
haha :D
Hahha 😂
Same here! Hahaha
JS Batch approves.
that JS Bach piece is something I always play in guitar, Bourree in e-minor BWV 996
You guys make it seem so easy 😅 very cool
Your husband is hilariousssss
This is a super fantastically helpful video! More like this would be divine. Love watching you teach and I’m definitely picking up tips for my own teaching.

I like the videos with Jon. The guy makes the show. A really nice couple!!!!!!
Love you both 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oh my god John is bloody hilarious, I want him as my music teacher! But seriously, he plays recorder really well, certainly better than me!
Oh my gosh this was too cute.
First time John played recalls me myself when I practice. Ohh poor of my teacher! LOL
Jon is so much fun!
Spazy musicians are the best, haha, thanks for the entertainment. That was amazing 👏
Lovely chemistry between you. I think there is a basis for a comedic/music educational act
Hello Sarah, you have +40.000 subscribers now! Way to go!
Congratulations :)
Thanks!!!!!! 😄
Thumbs up! Haven't watched it yet, but this is gonne be epic ❤👌
Haha very cool! cheers to you both
Lessens for John really worked for me at my level
More please
Thanks
Hi Sarah, its Bourée in E minor from BWV 996 (I transposed it to G-minor to be able to play it with the Alto recorder)
Where can I find this partition?
@@martinelizotte6187
@@martinelizotte6187 at Google just ask for Bouree BWV 996

Cara! ela toca muito, mas você também é o bicho. (toca muuuuiito).
congratulations guys
« Bourrée » means « drunken » now a day. ;)
It also never meant butter, it meant full
You two are funny and adorable. What are the Recorder instruments both of you are playing, especially the one John is playing but looks like it's wood on the bottom and blue plastic on the top?
Sara schooling her husband's music reading was hillarious.
Batch????
Classical Musicians:
*:o*
ikr
Terminator: "I'll be Bach."
John Sebastian Batch, ain't that the dude from Vienna who wrote Canon in D?
*head exploding noises from classical musicians intensify*
@@maximilianmustermann5763 Their heads exploded because they got shot by the Cannon in D
You're both lovely and sweet..
A lovely couple 😂
PD: is that book for begginers ??
Beurre by Batch :P
"against your better judgement", you say ? I really don't see why ... I mean he doesn't seem disruptive at all...
I almost believe him because if im not mistaken bach also have a piece about coffe
Hi everybody I'm Sharon and I'm a recorder player 😂😂😂😂
Hi I liked the sound of your husband recorder that blue and wood .... how can I buy it ???
Sike just kidding it’s me I win them all cuz I live here haha! 🤪😂

Watching Sarah and Jon is, at times, rather too much like watching Rob Chappers and The Captain on the Anderton's Music Shop website.
You can see his left pinky move a lot. Maybe due to his clarinet experience.
They're is noooooo way it's his first lesson! He pays better than me after years of playing...
He does play other instruments.
Squidward must watch this
Bourrée means stuffed
Well... It means drunk... It is spelled au féminin...
So he sounded as though he had played for years.
:-)
