Review: Gear4Music Concertina- two months on.
An update on how my entry-level concertina from Gear4Music is holding up after a few weeks of practice.
This is a 30 button Anglo concertina in the keys C/G.

I Wrote A Jig- I need feedback!
Переглядів 1,4 тис.Рік тому
I've been teaching myself to play the recorder for a couple of years, and during that time one of the things i've enjoyed playing most is jigs. Today I woke up and fancied trying to write one. I thought i'd show you the result, and see what you think... I'd like to improve and work on my little jig and turn it into a full tune- so if you have any suggestions for instruments or sounds you'd like...

Two years ago I decided I wanted to learn how to play a musical instrument. Learning as an adult with no previous musical knowledge, I wasn't sure I'd ever be any good. Scroll forwards a couple of years and I've joined a ukulele band. I've just played my first gig with them (think village hall with tea and biscuits...) I still may be on the musically inept side, but here's what I learnt from my...
I'll Show You ALL My Instruments!

It's almost exactly 2 years since I first started trying to learn music. I started out on the recorder, but have gathered a few more instruments along the way... To celebrate two years of music practice, I thought I'd group all my instruments together and find out exactly how many I've managed to acquire so far! Just for a bit of fun, like.

Can YOU help identify these wooden flutes??
Переглядів 4,4 тис.Рік тому
Over a year ago I bought a couple of old wooden flutes from eBay. The listing was vague and the photographs were even vaguer! They also smelled absolutely terrible- so I've waited a long time for the smell to go away before making a video about them! The thing is- I don't know what exactly these flutes are- where do they come from? How old are they? What specific instrument are they? (besides f...
Review: My New Tanglewood TU2 Soprano Ukulele!

Recently I used my new ukulele in a cover of The House of the Rising Sun, and as I got so many questions about it, I thought i'd give it it's own video! This is a look at the Tanglewood TU2 soprano ukulele, from their Cove Creek range of ukes. All opinions are my own, and I'm a fool ;)
House of the Rising Sun on Tenor Recorder and Ukulele
Переглядів 2,8 тис.Рік тому
As an adult who didn't learn to play a musical instrument as a child, lately I've been trying to teach myself how to read music and learn instruments from scratch. Every so often I try to put a piece of music together to kind of chart my progress, I suppose! This time, I thought i'd have a stab at the folk classic 'House of the Rising Sun.'

Thank you.
Is the tenor same played with same holes as a normal flute ?
I've never played the Tenor recorder but I knew someone who did play in the Recorder Societie I used to play at
Спасибо ❤
I would have reccommended the more expensive Kung to you. I find the top notes easy on my Kung tenor (and you would too after some practise) and the low notes are stronger because it has the "long diapezon" design which means that as well as a strong low end, you can also play top C# without covering the end hole. Lastly, it has the keys the "right way around". Never mind, I hope you enjoy your Mollenhauer.
The plastic one has a beautiful sonorous timbre. I like it.
I got a McNeela Phoenix and have found it great! Expensive yes, but it’s a new hobbie for my retirement. Started with Coover’s Easy Anglo 1 2 3, and got the first few tunes down fairly well. The tune you kicked off this video is my next! Please keep up the great work you’re doing.
Nice one...I've had three CBGs in all from Mr Stomp...excellent value - always very well packaged - and nicely built...🤗🤗
The snoring dog is cute, I noticed him in the beginning of the video (also) and figured out he must be snooring, before you even mentioned it later 😊
Hi Lauren...you are amazing to be able to do this after just a few days. It sounded very musical to me! I hope all is well as you've not posted for a while....hope its just because you are so busy playing in the real world.🙂 Take care and best wishes...I have really enjoyed your videos, your realism and your sense of humour and they are a real inspiration. xxx
Thank you for your videos they are very uplifting and encourage others to take up this lovely instrument
Nice playing I know you'll keep at it and become quite good actually for a cheaper recorder it sounds well
It has a pleasing tone I have a Treibert Alto recorder which is more difficult to play at times and not satisfied with it but I just ordered a Haka treble and I'm sure I'll be delighted
I'll be thirty-six in July. The recorder, guitar, ukulele, a couple of little keyboards and an assortment of percussion instruments where the first instruments I played when I was little, back in the early-'90s. I've played the violin since '96 (oh, how I love that instrument!), and although I still have my cheap plastic soprano Baroque recorder (Yamaha's YRS-24B, a model they still make!), I've only played it once or twice since I switched to the violin. On a whim, I dug it out again yesterday afternoon to see if I could produce a half-decent sound: nope. I'm still trying, though, with a little help from a video by, yep, Sarah Jeffery. I'm not looking to really learn the instrument, just produce a workable sound and experiment with it a bit.
you can get e recorder for 2.75 and you paid what? i know its better but why when you can get at least 2 saxophones with that or 700 or 2000 (for pros 5000) exstra for an oboe and you get a recorder :,(
like you, I decided to pick up a instrument as an adult, without any prior experience. I found this video very motivating. Thanks for posting.
beautiful, nice playing also
I don't notice much difference between wood vs and plastic on alto recorders. Plastic alto from Aulos sounds great to me. For tenor things change and I prefer wooden recorders.
I think the plastic one sounds a bit leaky. The ticking of the keys of the wooden ones does not actually please me, but how long would I really note them? Moreover, such nuances of the sound depends on recording, position of the listener, acoustics, I don't even know. Moreover, I like your relaxed way of presentation. No show, no overheated yelling or naive joking. You just tell and demonstrate and yes, it makes me want to buy a tenor... and a wooden alto! This video has been here about two years, but still: thank you!
i gotta' idea. why don't you watch the video?
nice! keep going!
Thanks!
Thank you for making the effort to sharing your progress
I recognise that tune, what is it?
She really has great potential I'm sure if she keeps up her playing no doubt she will become quite proficient
Wood much better
I have a 211 Recorder on the back thumb hole it say's B is this the key it's it didn't come with the case that the key name on it thanks , Cheers From Canada -Sunny Rhoades and you are Gorgeous and a beautiful Soul im in Love haha.
What a great idea. I guess that the hornpipe has some naval connotations but it’s also a great dance rhythm for us landed people.
How are you doing? Is te concertina journey going all-right?
hello very good artist, where can I find and buy this beautiful instrument? Is it in B flat? I can't find it on the Internet. A thousand thanks
Ace. Well done. As a newbie myself I appreciate how difficult this is to do. I'll say it again, Ace.
Been a while since I last watched this video but was a joy to watch it again Dad.
Thank-you, I loved your take on Playford. My favourite dances are "Upon a Summers Day" "Nonesuch" "Newcastle" "Hole in the Wall" and "Mr. Beveridge's Maggot" In fact I love all the Playford dances and my husband and I attend many dances and costume balls. Wonderful.
Nice song at the end! thanks
Harmonicas work like the concertina and the bandoneon(concertina’s big brother) blow and draw give different notes from the same hole. Concertinas and Bandoneon are more expressive than the accordion.
Your phrases are really long. Jigs need to be singable (even if they are instrumental) and singers need to breathe. So, some kind of pause every 2-3 measures is recommended. Also, if you listen to well-written jigs, you can imagine the guitar chords that would be playing along with them. That is because you are playing chord tones on the strong beats. Looks like you are playing in Dm. The chords you'll be using are likely Dm, C major and G major or G minor, depending on whether you are playing D natural minor or D dorian. So, for Dm you are hitting D, F and A on the strong beats (1,2,3 and 4 if you are in 4/4), for G major you are hitting G, B and D on the strong beats, for G major you hitting G, Bb and D on the strong beats, and on C major you are hitting C, E and G on the strong beats. It can be hard to write this way unless you write the chords first, and then add the notes on top of them. Writing melody first can make it difficult to add structure later because you get attached to the melody and it sounds "right" to you even if you can't superimpose a structure on it. All musical rules can be broken, but you are better off knowing the rule, knowing that you are breaking it, and knowing why you are breaking it than you would be never having learned the rules at all. I would recommend trying these techniques with a new composition, not ripping your first effort apart and getting frustrated. Many of the best songwriters keep the majority of their work to themselves and only share the best of what they produce. Every composition is a chance to practice and to learn, so the effort is never wasted.
What a fantastic progress! I started at age 49 and after a year ..I am better, but ... Now I feel sorry that I didn't record my initial practice 🙂 I had a good laugh when you showed a bunch of your recorders saying "it is addictive". My wife couldn't understand my collection. Greetings from London!
So glad I came across your video. I'm thinking on getting one. Very informative and I think you're doing great. Will you be my teacher? and your cute too :)
I'm now 73 and have no prior experience of music whatsoever. I think it's both fun and at times frustrating, trying something completely different. My family think I'm totally nuts both because of my age and the fact I've chosen the recorder. (4 of them) However I've always said it's only being nuts that keeps me sane. Thanks for your videos and I wish I was as quick as you are at learning to play recorders. Keep up the good work.
I live by a train station and your note right at the beginning of the song went well with the random train whistle
I loved this review. 😂
Really very good progress. Everyone's got to start somewhere. Just start, and keep going regularly.
Cajon is a great instrument! With the brushes those rubber bands are used to adjust the fan of the brush for different textures. Mre fan brings higher pitches, less fan is more like a stick/mallet. You can also get a felt head kick pedal (like a reverse drummers kick pedal) that lets you use your foot for the bass sounds.
Well, not really a "cigar box" guitar it's more of a constructed and decorated "box" guitar which is okay, a box is a box is a box 😉 hopefully this will not be your only box guitar but the start of a few more (for different tunings, scale lengths etc)! If the underside of the neck had been rounded over (the edges look square) you'd find it would be easier to play (but, of course not cutting off the corners is a cost cutting corner 😆)
a really open and sincere video thanks for posting.
So its a mini clarinet.
who is snoring in the back

That was a well done video, thank you. Since you got this CBG about a year ago, I'm going to look at your later videos to see how much you've progressed.
