Take a look at how the different notes are played. Remember to always play your recorder with both hands.

Fingers on the left hand should be used to cover Hole 0,1,2,3 while fingers on the right hand should be used to cover Hole 4,5,6,7,8,9.

Note: The last finger of left hand should not be used to cover any holes on the recorder.
