And so it is with recorder playing as we are busy coordinating the finger placement whilst reading the notes, working out the tempo and music signs and playing with the other recorder people.
Under Janet’s (non perplexed) tuition ‘London’s Burning,’ ‘Turn the Glasses Over’ and ‘Mon Amor’ are now relatively easy driving. ‘La Mourisque ‘has some tricky signs. Who knew : means do a quick u turn? Some of the signs are actually written in Latin! Looking at you, D.C al Fine! Tricky. ‘Au Clair de la Lune’ showed some good sight reading.
‘Brian Boru’s March’ had a couple of people exceeding the speed limits but this was soon brought under control. ‘We went out’ showed our versatility as we masterfully swapped parts. We are starting to drive this recorder quite well.
