Big thanks for showing that on el cheapo recorder! I'm begining to beleive that biggest expence in my music learning is my time, because I don't need uber expensive instrument!!! All best!
Certainly! It is all about ability and time not about what you play it on. If you are good you will sound great on anything. If you aren't so good you will sound not so good. I do youtube videos with my keyboard and I doubt that I would suddenly become a hit just because I used a better instrument.
@@ziomatthewmusic4205 Agreed! When my ex-wife bought me my tenor saxophone on my 50th birthday the guy at the store told me that it was not the instrument that makes you a musician play good but a musician who makes the sax play good. He was right. However, in a symphonic orchestra... the richness of the sound becomes apparent.
This is a true story from someone who has been playing recorder for over 60 years: I was preparing a piece for soprano recorder and found I sounded best on a clear plastic lime green $7 student recorder (the same Yamaha model as Sarah's). The piece seemed to work best for me on this instrument instead of my $200 rosewood instrument. I played the piece at a recital and this is how I did it. I kept the recorder in my bag until the moment I stood up to play and whipped it out. Without delay, I put it to my lips and played the piece, then took my bows and put it away. After the recital, folks came up to me and asked what kind of instrument I used. I amazed them by showing them the student instrument. One lady complained that she had just bought a hand-made expensive instrument and that the plastic instrument (which, by the way, was not a poor instrument at all, just inexpensive and mass produced) sounded better than hers. Of course, that was because I had practiced extensively with my recorder and knew how to make it sound good on this particular piece. Which all goes back to something that my recorder teacher told me: 90% of a musician's sound comes from him, and only 10% comes from the instrument. This is true for anyone. Charlie Parker played concerts on a plastic alto saxophone when he had to pawn his own instrument for cash. I've played gigs on broken down pianos and managed to sound fine. It's a matter of working with what you have to make yourself sound as good as possible. In my opinion, a good instrument will make it easier for a good musician to sound good but a poor musician will sound poor on the best instrument. The "cheapie" Yamaha is a reliable and practically indestructible instrument that can be taken anywhere without risk of harm or loss.
Sarah Jeffery / Team Recorder I guess I’ll learn this one next! I am learning to play Bourree from the video you teach Jon the recorder. All of your music selections are *chef kisses* 😘😘😘
For some reason, it just make me angry that people would give your video a downvote. Thank you for sharing. The recorder was my second instrument, started in 4th grade. While I mostly play the pennywhistle now, I still keep 6-7 recorders around and play them once in awhile - nowhere near as fabulously as you do.
I've been practicing recorder for about the last month of quarentine and your channel has been an enormous help! I fell in love with this song early on in my recorder learning and could not find a suitable version to learn. I also dabble in the tin whistle which is how I figured out the name of it, but I much prefer playing recorder. ITS A REAL INSTRUMENT!!!😠😡😠!! no one believes it at first.
It awes me to see that a $10 instrument can sound so good in the right hands . I'm just starting to learn the recorder ( once again ) . I purchased a Yamaha yrs-24b (like yours , but natural white) . I know it's not an expensive recorder , but sounds and plays way better than imagined . Of course you really know how to make it sing . I've been enjoying your videos the last few months . Thanks for a ll the helpful info you have shared with me and the rest of your viewers . Your comparison video between this $10 plastic Yamaha and your $1000 hand made concert recorder is what prompted me to get the yrs-24b .
I loved hearing you do a folk tune as that is my favorite type of music. I usually play 'Off to California" on D tin whistle but the tune is bouncy and fun and sounds great on any instrument.
It's also common to just write it in straight eighth notes, and then just write a tempo/rhythm note at the top something like: (♫) = (triplet: ♩ ♪), or a something like "played in swing time...". Makes it easier to write the tune that way :-)
I've always been thinking there were no rules in self-expression in Art, except for safety sure. I remember people dancing flamenco with other styles of music, and as a flamenco dancer, I enjoyed it
One of my favourites - I have it in a book of English pub session tunes compiled by Dave Mallinson but never knew how to do the ornamentation - so many thanks for the advice.
I’m a fiddler and I’ve learned so much from this video on ornamentation and emphasis. In our pub sessions (or yesteryear) hornpipes are the ones played so wildly differently it can be painful! Thank you so much.
Hi Sarah, I never really was interested in the recorder...but after watching many of your videos my opinion changed! Thank you very much for that. And by the way, I saw that you are living in Amsterdam. You are more then welcome, especially during this Covid period we need positive and enthousiastic people like you, we need you to keep our spirits up.
Two of my favorite ornaments in the same piece: Scotch snap and the roll. Overall it sounds like a bit of a commercial for Irish Spring soap, which I don't mind. But more reminiscent of a half dozen sea chanties I know. I am only mystified that I never herd this before, and I have a half dozen or so Clancy Brothers CDs? I will definitely search RUclips for it now. Thanks for the lead. You are sweet and wonderful to watch.
Hurray! Letters in the description! Yay! I've been trying to learn this tune from your other videos. Finally! Now I know I will learn it with this video. Thank you! 💃🎶🎵
Just curious, do you have a good fingering for a roll on d''? I haven't found one I'm happy with. Actually it would be really nice if you could give us whatever roll fingerings you've been able to work out for the recorder. There are plenty books that give fingerings for tin whistle, but even though the recorder is really just an elaborated whistle they often don't carry over. It would be interesting to see what a professional recorder player who has an interest in this sort of thing has been able to come up with.
I love your content and I've gotten a lot out of this tutorial (this is actually my favorite articulation of this song I've found)! I am struggling with the timing (consistently finding beats 2 and 4). Maybe it's playing off the ABC notes that don't tell me how long the def# are or how long certain notes (the e) are held. Any advice?
Hi. You did a video explaining why scales are so important and many of your videos you talk about arpeggios but then you have no videos actually teaching scales or arpeggios. I have worked out c and d major from piano but I am struggling with E major so could you do a video teaching it or point me to a website or video which explains the theory that you talk about in your videos. Many videos are great but too hard as a beginner.
Hornpipes are usually notated in straight quavers but folk musicians know to play a hornpipe with a triplet feel. Not all hornpipes are played dotted. Most horpipes from Southern England are played pretty much with straight quavers.
@@TootlinGeoff Thanks Geoff, yep, that's what I was thinking straight eights, with triplet feel is what one would expect, rather then the what's written. Which it's distinctly not what's played. :)
@@dcx45 Sarah said in the video she'd written it dotted to help those not familiar with the convention. Some tune books do write hornpipes with dotted quavers. I have one by Northumbrian Piper, Pauline Cato who's notated hornpipes in dotted quavers.
The tin whistle book I have has it written in straight eighth notes. In the tempo/rhythm at the top you could just write (in rhythm notation): (♫) = (triplet: ♩ ♪)

Exactly 😄😍

Thank you!!!
This song stays in the head (such an ear worm!) Now I can get it out and onto the recorder. Yay! Thank you Sarah. So much fun.

So that's the name of that tune. I've heard it before but never knew it's name. Thanks much. And I'm the first!
She plays it in many of her videos haha. I remember it was the $10 vs $10000 recorder with Jon

My first language is french, and I am pretty happy that it was written "si" instead of ti!

This inspired me to play this piece with my quartet at school at the biggest concert year, and playing it solo! Thanks Sarah!
Tomorrow my tenor recorder arrives at my home! :) I will start to learn and your channel was very useful for my decision! Thank you for your videos!
Ludmilla Eloy - I bet you can't wait - but why did you choose to start on a tenor - just interested??
@@honeychurchgipsy6 Because of the sound. I know it's more difficult because of the size, but I think with I do like the sound I will try harder.
@@ludeloy - good luck
@@honeychurchgipsy6 thank you!!
That tune sticks to the brain! Very enjoyable and a really fun piece. Thanks for picking this one.
Thank you for this, it's such a happy song. I'm going to play this at a bonfire sometime and i hope people dance.
Saving this to learn later when I can play better. Great little tune.

Splendid video as per, but must admit that I was rather hoping for a spot of clog dancing. :-)
Hahaaaaaa next time 😄
Sarah Jeffery / Team Recorder Dancing and playing this tune please 😂
@@Team_Recorder one million subscribers clog dancing reveal 😂
This folksy tune will be really conducive to playing on my concertina and fiddle too. 😊 🎻 🎶🎵
Hurray! Letters in the description! Yay! I've been trying to learn this tune from your other videos. Finally! Now I know I will learn it with this video. Thank you! 💃🎶🎵
I love your tutorials because give me ideas for the future...I'm not quite this good yet :)
Thank you Sarah for your video so inspiring !!! and very useful in order to play folk music !!! ❤️❤️
Debbie McClatchie recorded this in 1981 with Malcolm Dalgliesch, Grey Larson, Bob Carlin. I have that lp somewhere...
Thanks a millon for this video I like this melody a LOT
Hey! Sarah, thank you! These folk ornaments remind me about hobbits of Tolkien, very kind folk, grass and birds and trees)
Just love the arc of the recorder at .41 - lucky the head piece didn't fly off? Pretty cool.
Finally I know the name of this tune! Thank you.

Essa música é incrível 🤩
FINALLY!!!! I love this tune but never found notes because I didn‘t know a title. I think it will be great with the dreamrecorder.
And with the same fingering on a sopranino. That’s assuming you have tolerant, better no neighbours 😁
can you please do a tutorial for "rocky road to dublin" for soprano recorder? :) :) can't find it anywhere and i love that une :)
First 5 seconds my heart skip a beat, she's so cute 😍
Finally worked out that it is Seven Drunken Nights by the Dubliners where I know this from.

Could you play The Inca Dance by cusco?
I can only say that I heard this at scout camp. Thought it was Irish.
Me encanta muchísimo !
Oogway's legacy recorder tutorial please?
I like the song :3
Amazing!! Thank you 😁
That's The Fireman's Reel.
Can you play hot cross buns and one song or easier ones cause I’m just learning and I’m very confused
Love it ! ❤️
Many alternative names according to The Session : thesession.org/tunes/30
Sarah,can you show how to play Banish misfortune on recorder? Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase
this vid reminded me i need to find my toilet water recorder now that i found my antifreeze recorder! gotta get the candy floss one next ;)
Do you have to 'play in' plastic recorders? I know it does not have to do at all with the video, but I need son help
No. Only wooden Recorders need "playing in".
@@Fretfeeler Thanks!
It does help to warm them up before playing though!
@@shedefinitelylikes Sure, I always warm up before!
It is indeed an Irish folk song 😊
(Psst! Typo in your photo card: check spelling of ornament. ♥️)
Arghhhh thank you 😘

Confused - written as dotted eight and sixteenth, while the pulse is distinctly three? Why not notate as such?
Hornpipes are usually notated in straight quavers but folk musicians know to play a hornpipe with a triplet feel. Not all hornpipes are played dotted. Most horpipes from Southern England are played pretty much with straight quavers.
