Nice for us to see your mum. Truly a lovely and intelligent lady.
In not too long I hope to see a 3 generation trio pop up on my feed 😊
Thanks for this. I'm trying to learn to play duets and trios now and have the time right.
Fun to watch this in 2024, & still very helpful
I am Playing The recorder for 9 years and my friend recently picked it up Asweel!
Showed him This vid to nudge him a bit so we can play duets.
Nice, thank you. Thumbs up for mum, also for spelling and pronouncing her name in the original Greek way! :)
+Macedonian Always Greek Haha, then we have to thank my grandma for that! :)
With regard to counting in: In my recorder trio the leader sways slightly but accentuating with the torso and head. This works quite well.
Thanks for all your hints!
+Rudolf Schmitt And thanks to your mom!
Loved it Sarah and your mum is lovely too. You both play so well together
Oh, I'm a beginner... still running around with my soprano plastic cheap recorder with ODE to JOY music sheet... I'm like 48 years old..
I was like that about 1 1/2 years ago. Keep at it!
I know its super late, but did you get better at the recorder yet?
I hope You did well practicing^^
I didn't even knew the recorder existed until I was 13, I learned it from TwoSet.
That was fabulous.
when one knows how to play it, a plastic recorder is just as beautiful!
Love those congas in the background. I'm a conga player.
Dear Sarah I re-started playing recorder last summer after a 25 year break and I love it.I had the break cuz I was trying to switch from German fingering to baroque but it was too much for me and put me off - I´m also Autistic with some motor problems so at that time it was too much for me -now that the break has been so long it´s coming easier to me though sometimes I have still some trouble with the forkfingering but I think practising will "kill" that in the end only might take a lil more time and patience than in Neurotypical (non Autistic) people.My biggest problem at the moment playing duetts is having no -one to play with.It took me some time but now I might have figured out a method how to play duett or trio or perhaps even more with oneself.It´s pretty easy in fact.You have to learn all your parts of course and need a camera or i-phone where you can make longer videos with.I do it like that now-I play lets say the first part and record myself doing it-then I use this recording to play the second part and thus play duett with myself One now can repeat this over and play a third part etc. or even another instrument like piano or play with someone duett who is even miles or continents apart.It works great I only don´t have a camera at the moment but I´ll get a new one.Thank you for the videos they are helpfull :)
If you play different instruments (like soprano and alto or tenor recorder) you can also make handy use of a looper and an inexpensive microphone to record many, many overlaying tracks.
Oh, my god! It's so lovely!
I LOVE!! I LOVE!! I LOVE!!! Awww, so sweet!!!! I have learned so much from this video.. I subscribed to you... I really really really LOVE your videos!! Don't ever stop!!!
Sarah, I can see you and your mam have a very close and loving relationship. A daughter to be proud of is my opinion.
This was great! Lots of really good tips. Now I know where you get your musical talent. Love your mum’s hair, by the way.
Love mother/daughter duets!
That's adorable!
That was funny in so many different ways, but very informative.
Your Mum is really lovely! Did you teach your Mum to play the recorder? Love how you give recorder-themed Christmas gifts too (of course) LOL
Lovely video for me to watch on mother's day :D! Greetings :)
Wonderful
hi sarah. my name is paul. i play the alto recorder and the bass recorder. i record the bass line first and then the melody on my boss studio. this is the way i do it. i learned so much from this video. love all your video.
Thanks Paul, that's a great way to play duets too, then you really have to be in time and in tune!
Thank you for the lesson and for the opportunity to meet your mom . Facts: new , have not even chosen which recorder nor do I have a particular passion for alto , vs. soprano , vs. tenor. I hope to enjoy recorder playing with my wife and someday we too will play duets. So, with all that in mind , any suggestions for which type of recorder we both might choose , with the thought of future duets in mind ?
Hi Sarah. Great tips, thanks! I haven't checked out all your videos but wonder if you have tips for playing recorder and piano together? I have begun playing with pianist friends and it is a lot of fun, mostly trying to guess where the other is up to!
Very cool to meet Mom and Dad. Why am I watching instead of practicing? Wait! Is that my phone? , , , ,
Recorder is the best because in Pokémon, they used a recorder as an instrument in a movie!!!
I've been trying hard but I can't click my fingers as loudly and confidently as you can. Need tutorial, damn it Sarah!
that is very great sarah welcome to uk from amsterdam.that was help ful.i would imagine that both players are playing like first violin and second violin is that correct .how to you play with a piano accompanist .what should one know.your video is extremely useful.thanks again.
Did you not record the actual duet with your mom? It was a nice piece!!! :) Thanks for the tips!!!
Does this only work for recorders or can this work on other instruments(this is how you know I didn't watch the whole video yet)?
It got me nervous to wait all that time to hear the melody.
I wish my kids played music. The gift is gonna die with me, sadly.
It doesn't have to. Do you have grandchildren? My two sons are musical (one of them is a much better musician than I am) but I shall keenly encourage any grandchildren I have to take up music.
