THIS CLIP
Witty, charming and unmistakably British, Rainer Hersch explains the basics of classical music. We all learn the recorder at school right? Apart from sounding terrible, the recorder teaches you were the notes are. And what is a time signature. Or does it? This is the introduction to classical music you wish you had. Check out Rainer Hersch's other videos to see what he did next bit.ly/1hGR52j

I WANT MORE!!!!!!
No serously, this is fun content. Pls make more?
Will do. Pls share around.
Fore sure!
I just love your sense of humor. A fantastic approach to classical music.
Mr Hersch, I'm sure your school reports never said 'Lacks imagination'; yet there are more interesting uses for a recorder than to drop down the Grand Canyon. Good for: stirring paint (the fipple gets into those awkward corners), splinting broken limbs (sop for chihuahua, tenor for Great Dane, bass for elephant's trunk), birthday cake for dieters (tiny candles fit in holes and No Calories) and loo-roll holder for your posh butler's bathroom. Thanks for delightful video.
Ha ha ha. All those suggestions are going in the next one. Thanks for watching.
@@RainerHerschUA-cam Golly, what an honour!
Finally some decent music.
In Japan, we used to have an instrument called a pianica, which looked like a small keyboard with a plastic tube on one end to blow in to make sounds, in the early primary school years. Then we moved to the recorders. (The soprano recorders for the elementary school, and the alto ones for the middle schools.) 15 years ago or so, my kids learned only the recorders in their music lessons, not the pianica, so they must have stopped using it. But recently I found an astonishing concert video of kindergarten students playing African Symphony with pianicas on You-Tube. So we still have the pianica playing in Japan...
Like a melodica
@@matthewhammans4365 it is melodica
2:32 I simply MUST have this be the face to look at me whenever I start up the computer.
🤣
Thanks for giving us such a humorous look at reading music!
He should make a collaboration with 2setviolin!
Yup!! Agree!!
Yeeeeeeees
Mr. Hersch has uploaded I'm blessed.
The recorder they made us buy for 4th grade music class in NJ, USA, was called a "Flutophone."
the one I remember from school is 'Every Green Bus Drives Fast'
The musik was so good, that i blacked out, and when i woke up, someone strapped a white jaket on me,and I couldn't move,and I found myself in a small white fluffy room.
At this rate, you should be up to, say, "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star" by maybe October. Great fun.
When you threw the recorder into a canyon I absolutely lost it. Your content just splits my sides, so would you mind helping me pay the hospital bill? XD
Toneflute fifth grade here. Circa 1959. Still have it, complete with bite marks from when I got bored.
or hangry? 😆
You should upload more often. Truly a fun way to enjoy classical.
Five lines and four spaces. I learned that Every Good Boy Does Fine and FACE.
Absolutely loved the radio series. Fantastic!
I haven't played much music since the high school band so many years go, but I remember getting the same joy from playing a well practiced piece back then as I do from watching your videos today. A different type satisfaction, of course, but just as enjoyable and fun, all the same
"Take five" is a very nice piece of music history❤🎼🎵🎶
I love that song
I did a zoom meeting with my 2nd-grade recorders this morning and we reviewed everything. That went well...
I love this man and his humour, Australian
I had learned to play the cornet in high school and I have long since forgotten the connection of this phrase, but the band teacher had us learn FCGDA aka Fuss, Cuss, Growl, Don't Argue. I have also forgotten how to play the cornet.
must be the bass clef.?
I wonder if the take five thing actually is true and it‘s the original recording.
Edit: forget it, I looked it up. It just took two takes.
I discovered my wife’s recorder the other day, I had a ball playing classics like Advanced Australia Fair, Wooden Heart, Happy Birthday :) made a change from playing the Tuba :)
Most hellerius and joyfull expiriance THANK YOU
is great to see you around here! entertaining and teaching!
teaching!? Pulease.
I need this today.
I have enjoyed your videos many time over; especially when you wee conducting an orchestra and a choir (Cannon in D w/various modern music). I am so glad that you have done another video! Love your style.
Wow, thank you!
"If you see a lot of lines, but no stuff, that generally means you are drunk"
Musicians playing John Cage 4'33": 🍺😵🍻🥴😪🥃
Great! After watching the Brit recorder episode, I was worried that the Grand Canyon might fill up with the things... ;-)
This guy is an absolute genius.
There are beautiful recorder players and many different kinds of recorders. Shocked that you would be insulting to other musicians.
You are nuts! Keep up the good work! Love it!
Every good boy does fine
Hilarious! Takes me back to piano lessons at Primary School!! :D
THANK YOU!! Lovely to just watch, and remarkably encouraging for a mature age woman learning to play cello.
Glad you enjoyed it!
"Everything George Bush Freaked me out" 😂😂 ima save that for later
Absolutely superb, my dear chap.
Thank you! Cheers!
very inspirational and rejuvenating
Hilarious. Good to see you are using your lockdown time wisely Rainer.
I love learning about Music! Please keep making videos and your’re quite funny
I loved it! For the Treble Cleff lines it was Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge and the other one was Every Good Bear Deserves Fish. Space would be FACE. Bass Cleff spaces would be All Cows Eat Grass. Nothing for the lines in the Bass Cleff. But the D line would be called Diddle D In The Middle.
I use Good Bass Definitely Feels Awesome for the bass clef!
_"See, that's 2/4. Beeeeeee...."_ -- I just *love* British humor.
MORE VIDEOS! LOVE THEM! Wish I was in the UK.
Actually, Lucie Horsch does a great job of making the recorder sound awesome... And I play alto recorder in F...
Recorders make crummy tent pegs, but at least you won't worry about pulling them back up when band camp is over.
oh come on! it's possible to make beautiful music with a recorder! 🤣 😂
Thanks to the beer virus i cant get my ears fixed after hearing the ehm... wonderful music
Thank you! It made my day)
Thank you too!
Good boys don’t feel angry
Every good boy deserves favour
All cows eat grass
FACE
Are the ones I learnt. I never really used them, though; my (pianist) mum got me to write the names of notes based on many, many individual examples!
However, my favourite music related mnemonics are these for flats and sharps:
Battle ends and down goes Charles’ father
Father Charles goes down and ends battle.
They’re the same words in opposite directions! Also very handy when you’re facing a piece with 6 flats or sharps! 😱
Omg that's brilliant.
"Everything George Bush Did Freaked me out"... I shall remember that one...
We have tickets to see him in November, hopefully the current chaos will be over.
Fantastic, gives classical music a banterous twist Lol
I play an Instrument since I´m 4 years old.... i laughed harder at this than I should xD

-Geh du altes Ekel hol Fische
-Go you old odiousperson get fish

I love take five. I play it on the recorder all the time
Hi, I do not know what type of medication or drug Mr. Hersch is on but I want some or I know a few people that should take some. He is great, this is what any child (or psychiatric patient) need to be introduced to music theory. Thank you for such "education", I feel much better already, Ciao, L (USA)
finally someone who looks at music as badly as I do.
Please more lessons 😄
They called them Tonettes when I was a lad.
My music theory teacher once had a student who came from the Balkans, and he was excellent at playing 5/4 or 7/8 music, but had troubles reading binary and ternary music. So I guess that instead of haying a "Take 5" song they have a "take 4" or "take 6" one down there.
Every good boy deserves French. So wish I could read music. Two of my children could though 🙂
Why do you turn off some of the comments sections. I never liked classical music but the way he does it it is so cool that I love it.
3:39 no silly, my heart beats in 97/2 at 420 BPM

That is beautiful thank you william
Nooooo! Don't litter in the Grand Canyon!
Don't worry, I have sent my butler to pick up the bits.
In my home language it is:
Elke

Boer

Fanta
Meaning:
Every
Good
Farmer
Drinks
Fanta
(Fanta is a popular carbonated beverage)
La musica iniziale è molto bella!!!
I know exactly where you can stick that recorder.
When COVID is over please do a show in Albuquerque New Mexico
For me it wasn’t God Save the Queen....
Ha ha ha. Bloody great!
She really does need some saving
why god save the queen?(it is easy on recorder???)
Cheers, as a folk enthusiast, mostly anaemic to classical music (as it's too posh!) is there any chance of explaining why classical music always nicks folk music, and how they change the time signatures? An example would be o'carolans concerto, and all the works of classical music I can think of but have no idea what they are called! Can an orchestra play 8/5 jig time signitures?
You look a bit like Schumacher. 🤣 Fun stuff sir, keep it up!
You think so? Thanks for watching. Stay tuned.
I learned it as "Every Good Boy Does Fine."
Me too
1:36 This gave me instant anxiety
That's my new mnemonic everything George Bush Did Freaked me out!
Every Green Bogey Deserves Flicking
Superlustig erklärt! Obendrein sehr lehrreich!😊 Trotzdem kann ich nicht alles.....
So there is a man over the pond just as crazy as i am. I hope we never meet. The world is simply not ready
Unless you're a violist like me, then the mnemonic was:
F - ollowing
A - lto
C - lefs,
E - veryone
G - roans.
Or the less polite:
F - uck
A- lto
C- clefs,
E - at
G - arbage.
But I may have had a shit teacher who just really hated us.
I didnt know that you were a comedian
最高！
Every Good Band Deserves Fudge... and a better use for recorders than squeaking like crazy because the recorder your parents bought you was the cheapest one they could find? Get a decent one from the start, and (if in the U.S. - don't know if there's an equivalent in other countries) join your local chapter of the American Recorder Society (check out Ascanio Trombetti's "Diligam Te Domine" performed by Royal Wind Music on youtube).
Mr Rainer , I am uneducated. Just watched an excellent flashmob rendition of Ravels Bolero (and others, Ode To Joy etc) my question is do the players really need a conductor or do they just read the music script (score)? Surely a well tuned orchestra would be so well versed in the music they perform they should know the routine by heart (ear). As I say, I am uneducated but the question remains. Also, I seem to recall orchestras performing rock music and rock bands performing orchestral pieces, could you arrange?
Dear John Doe (!) No-one is uneducated. Just you have got yourself educated in other things. The basic answer to the question whether orchestras need a conductor lies in music notation. There is not enough information in the dots on the page to produce a satisfying result: tempo, balance, changes in tempo - it's all super vague. 'Allegro' = fast. But how fast? 'Forte' = loud. But how loud? Then, when anything changes (moves from a slow to fast, for example) this has to happen in the same way throughout the orchestra. Have you ever tried to get 80 people to agree on something? They can't. The conductor is the one who stands outside the group show by gestures how that should happen. As for the rock music - not my thing. Except for comedy purposes. All the best Jo Bloggs.
You should only use 2/2 when composing military retreating music... =)))
Every good boy does fine. Great big dogs fight animals. F A C E All cars eat gas. RIP Mrs Rowan.
You mentioned the 2/4 human heart. What about the 4/4 Time Lord heart?
every good boy does fentanyl
Expelled gynaecologist blames diaphragm fiaso... Finally a new password to replace correct battery horse staple.
Very humorous, save for one about George Bush to which I say, bite me. But I still love your videos anyway. But seriously, bite me.
I play Euphonium, so in high school I learned bass clef. I was also really into Harry Potter (SPOILER) at that time:
George's
Broom
Drove
Fred
Away
Little did I know it was foreshadowing. 😬

Don Ellis used many different time signatures...and didn't lose it...
Actually, I don't think he even thought of it like that.
Possibly, but he did come from a public school musical education. I would assume that the meter signatures he used were new to him, at one time. I have all (nearly) of his albums, and there is a progression and a sort of evolution over his way-too-short career, that you can hear.
😂😂😂😂
Bass clef lines, I love Gangstas Buy Drugs From Asda
Ah yes, funny classical music man.
