Last month my mom got me an alto recorder and a while back she sent me the metronome that sat on the piano as a kid. Your videos have been very encouraging and helped me loose the stigma that recorders are for kids. I'm 50 hehehe. Love from Montana.❤
Not nerdy. You hit it on point, this. It's about wanting to improve proficiency. I still practice with a metronome for many things, even when practicing Hanon on the piano, especially. You learn when to flex the cadence and tempo with a group or even solo when you play. Look at Jazz. You can follow each other, but the metronome can help you get that even start, whatever the final tempo becomes. Excellent video!!!
OMG I finally understand this s***! This was such a treasure trove of information! I'm bummed I did not come across this one earlier! But then I'd prolly be places if I was more organized.
One little suggestion: If you're looking at your music, and listening to the metronome, great; however, if you read ahead, or have memorized your piece, try setting the metronome to flash (or pay more attention to it swinging if you have an ST, like I did). Just for fun. Why? It'll help you get used to visual cueing on the beat, and prepare you for unspoken glances by fellow players in a group, or even start to ready you for watching the baton. This way you can bend as a group to each other's feel, or at least proceed together in concert in consort with a conductor pulling the tempo around, and be a part of a wonderful new interpretation of the cadence of your performance piece. Beside, it's fun.
Thank you for all the ideas. Metronomes are a great tool - don't care if it makes me a nerd. I have a free app called Rhythmic Metronome and it lets me input the actual rhythm. This helps me with some of the more complicated rhythms until I'm more comfortable with its.
This is a fantastic video! First, I am playing this sonata from Telemann right now! Second: in my violin lessons I have a difficult rhytmic piece and I could use some of the tips you gave! 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Good advices!!! I feel that for me is effective if I don't measure the downbeats, but rather the sub divisions, whilst feeling the pulse mentally. It kind of varies with different music, but I kind of discover that I am more aware of what sections need "cleaning" as I get the music up to speed. Is all about getting the music to a point of control and then figuring out what you want to do with musical nuances.
Hello again. I enjoy your videos very much, they are fun to watch. Thanks! Should I buy a Dream Recorder in Tenor?.. I am thinking of stopping playing the clarinet mainly because of the pressure on my teeth.. I just turned 60. My soprano and alto recorders have always been lying open in my shelf since decades and from time to time I had fun with them... no pressure. I recently watched your introduction to the tenor and I remembered that I had one stowed away somewhere. I found it and it sounds very nice... a Mollenhauer Denner I think. It is more than 45 years old and I hardly ever played on it. But the low tones!! Where are they?... Hardly to be heard. I want to play loud. :-) Would a Dream Recorder be a solution? Thank you!
Interesting video for a rythm-challenged person like me... The problem with the metronome is that I don't know where I am compared to the metronome. I've been recording and the computer helped showing that I'm far off...
Hi Sara Thank you for your verry good videos. Because of you I bought two alto recorders that you have given some good comments in your videos. Is it possible for you to give a link to the metronome app you use? Again thank you for your TH-cam channel. Erik
Thanks for video! Any suggestions, tips, cos I keep getting lost among the ledger lines! I’m a returning recorder player (45 years break) and also switching up from descant to treble. Any chance of talking about this at some point? Regards, Alex
It is a great combination - fantastic in a lot of medieval repertoire and also for Renaissance dances like Arbeau. The group Cancionero often uses them together.
I don't think I could get used to anything except my old Franz electrical metronome that has a mechanical click, I tried a digital one and it just didn't work me for some reason. I bought it when I dropped my old mechanical one and it didn't work anymore. A tragic day in my student years.
Hi very usefull tips can you please post a tutorial? about random beats, the timing always caught me off guard example random slurs, stacatto mix beats of 1/4th, 1/8th and 1/16th altogether in a phrase.
Maybe it's because I had a mechnical exclusively for years, but I find the function of electronic metronomes where they play one beat differently than the other ones really annoying - if I use one nowadays, I put it to a 1/4 time signature to get the uniform beat I want...
Hello Sarah. How are you doing at this time? What is the situation of Covid over there? Hope you and your family are safe. Stay motivated. Your army is right behind you. Whenever you need us, for anything, we are right here. Just saying because you told me you were stressed out because of the virus. Love.
Please 🥺 explain how to use metronome apps with your recorder I can't afford an actual metronome I just have many apps but they confusing as hell please make video on that if you get this
Rhythm is not really dry... it's horrendously difficult, for me. It's stumped any hope I could have of making a career out of music. I got better over time, but I still feel I am improvising instead of tapping. I should probably find myself a teacher and try that way.

Thank you Sarah
🙏🏳🌈🏳⚧⚧Thank you, Sarah. You rock. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎
Well it finally happened, I bought a recorder because of your vids
The only metronome video I need to watch!
Last month my mom got me an alto recorder and a while back she sent me the metronome that sat on the piano as a kid. Your videos have been very encouraging and helped me loose the stigma that recorders are for kids. I'm 50 hehehe. Love from Montana.❤
ah that’s wonderful! such a joy to rediscover music!

I am with you on this!
Superb concepts for learning almost any musical instrument. Thank you
OMG I finally understand this s***! This was such a treasure trove of information! I'm bummed I did not come across this one earlier! But then I'd prolly be places if I was more organized.
Rhythm and tempo have been my nightmare since I started playing piano and recorder. Your video helped me understand it better. Thanks!
Packaging all of that super info and practical info into less than 14' is outstanding. Well done Sarah, thank you

Perfect timing. Our class just posted about this. We LoVe your classes. YOU ROCK! ❤️🥳🎶🎉
Thank you! What a useful explanation and insight in the use of a metronome.
Thanks a lot for this video!! I personally struggle with pulse a lot, and I will immediately implement your tips in my practise 😁

Another great video. thanks Sarah. I'd love to see more videos on rythim. Its definitely my sticking point.
This is a fantastic video!

I had been waiting for this this! Thank you
Thanks for this video! Great information! I'll be watching it again and again!
Welcome back nerds xD lol

That was one very nice video, Sarah! Thank you.

That's a great approach too! In the end whatever works for you is best!
This is an terrific video
Amazing! 😊 Really useful, thank you
Thank you, well done!

@@flutakovich_40 You guys are everywhere. 😳
You can't do your 40 hrs per day, if you're always on TH-cam. 😏
Yay!!!! That’s the same one I use!
Oh my gosh, I love her so much, she so funny

I use an app called Time Guru which gives the option to randomly mute any % of the beats forcing you to develop your internal clock.
Hi Sara
Thank you for your verry good videos. Because of you I bought two alto recorders that you have given some good comments in your videos.
Is it possible for you to give a link to the metronome app you use?
Again thank you for your TH-cam channel.

John mclaughlin sets up many metronome at different tempos all over his house....also look up metronome sync...its fun ...gotta have 2
Wow! I love his music. Thanks for the insight.
تحياتي لك ✋
Greetings to you for the effort and helping others
Thanks for video! Any suggestions, tips, cos I keep getting lost among the ledger lines! I’m a returning recorder player (45 years break) and also switching up from descant to treble. Any chance of talking about this at some point? Regards, Alex
Sarah, do you ever get to play with Hurdy Gurdy players? I think the Recorder and Gurdy would sound great together...
I would LOVE TO!!
@@Team_Recorder It would make an amazing collab video, just putting it out there 😉
It is a great combination - fantastic in a lot of medieval repertoire and also for Renaissance dances like Arbeau. The group Cancionero often uses them together.
@@kentminstrels Thanks for the recommendations!
Thank you, Sarah. My metronome seems to have gone lame ... the tick is very lopsided nowadays. :-/
I think this is your metronome’s way of telling you that you need to play more swing music 😉
@@anna.g I was hoping someone would say that. :-)
I don't think I could get used to anything except my old Franz electrical metronome that has a mechanical click, I tried a digital one and it just didn't work me for some reason. I bought it when I dropped my old mechanical one and it didn't work anymore. A tragic day in my student years.

Can you make a video review about the Nuva Recorder plus?
Welcome Back Nerds!!! ;)

Love.
Hey, thanks for your kind comment! That's lovely to hear. We're doing okay... well, you know how it is! One day at a time, and we'll get there 😅
Can u make a video that consist of all hello everyone I’m Sara and I’m a recorder player
Please 🥺 explain how to use metronome apps with your recorder
I can't afford an actual metronome
I just have many apps but they confusing as hell please make video on that if you get this

when you think your crush cannot grow more, Sarah proves you're wrong!
Yes! We all adore Sarah! 🎉
🥰😘
Yeah i don't think i'll ever be able to play music straight from the sheets. Just thinking out loud.
Secret time, I've never used a metronome
I am still having a problem determining how to choose the beats on my metronome based on time signature.
Try to start with a lower number: When it says 120, start with 100.
Or when there is no number, just try something. If you can't keep up, go lower.
@@ankavoskuilen1725 Thank you!!
@@RoxannSouci No problem! Enjoy trying it out!

What's that thing you have on your right? 🤔
What’s that wooden thing next to you?
It is a type of bass recorder, and Sarah made a video about it...
What is it? What is it? What is it?
What is that thing behind her?
Bass recorder...look for the video about it
Where are you from?
For a moment I thought it was the time signal.
Is it just me, or have someone else feared it was a video by Wim Winters just by having red "metronome" 😄😄?
Those are some HUGE recorders!!!
Where are you from
Je hoeft geen metronoom te kopen. Daar is een app voor. 👍 😊

You are so cute and nice.
