Recorder Exercise 1 -- B-A-G long tones



Try this exercise first.  

Long tones are an excellent way to warm up, as well as a good way to improve tone.   We play them each for 4 counts beginning on B with 4 counts of rest in between.  Remember the fingerings?

B -- Left thumb on back hole and first finger on first hole
A -- Left thumb on back hole, first finger on first hole and second finger on second hole
G -- Left thumb on back hole, first finger on first hole, second finger on second hole and third finger on third hole.
