The Funky C!

Ok, so the note itself isn’t necessary full of soul and makes you want to dance… but the way your fingers maneuver to get to the proper hand position may remind you of someone attempting the funky chicken!

But really, learning the finger position for third space C is the beginning of weird recorder fingerings! What makes it unusual is the fact that, until now, you have always used 0 (left thumb) and 1 (left index finger) to play B, A, and G. All of a sudden, with C, you still use your thumb, 0, but you don’t use your index finger, 1!

Have no fear! In lesson 6, we will get lots of practice playing C correctly, in addition to transitioning from C to B, which takes a little coordination. Pretty soon you’ll be switching from C to B in your sleep :-).
