Description of the recorder.

The recorder is an ancient instrument. Its history dates back to the medieval
period of music history. Actually the recorder belongs to the flute family, but
then it is regarded as the member of the wood wind family and really operates
on the same mechanism as other wood wind instruments. However, whereas
the other instruments of woodwind family are used in the orchestra the but the
recorder does not appear in the orchestra.

Nowadays, the recorder is very popular in schools as used to be in

England between 16th and 17th centuries. Its popularity rises from the fact that it
is quite cheap to buy the mass produced type and also portable, thus it is easy
for students to carry about.

The family consists of Descant (Soprano), Alto, Tenor, Bass. The descant
recorder is the smallest in size and produces very high pitch. The bass recorder,
on the other hand is the largest member of the family and produces a more
mellow tone. Below are pictures of the family;
Holding the recorder

Normally, the left hand is used to hold the recorder. The thumb of the left
hand is placed behind the instrument and is used to cover the only hole at the
back. Then, the next three fingers of the left hand are so adjusted as to cover the
first three holes in front, nearest to the mouthpiece. These four fingers, first to
fourth, keep the instrument in position as below. (Left hand).

Similarly, the thumb of the right Hand is placed underneath the instrument, just
midway between the third and fourth holes. The rest of the fingers of the Right
Hand are kept in the position as to take charge of the of the remaining holes in
the front of the recorder.

The Grand Staff/Great Staff

The great stave consists of 11 lines and 10 spaces. When the bass and treble clef
are combined and connected by a brace (left) and lines, they become the grand
staff. This greatly increases the range of pitches that can be noted, and is often
used in piano music due to the piano's wide range.

A brace or bracket is a line connecting two or more staves, found to the left of
the staves.

Ledger Lines

Ledger lines are the lines extended below or above the staff, allowing for higher
or lower notes to be shown than would otherwise fit on the staff. These lines
follow the same musical alphabet pattern as the staff does. They are often
