    How should be blow into the recorder?

    • As hard as possible.

    • Using soft, warm air.

    • Not at all.

    Correct Answer
    A. Using soft, warm air.
    Explanation
    Blowing into the recorder using soft, warm air is the correct answer because it allows for better control of the instrument and produces a clear and pleasant sound. Blowing too hard can cause the sound to be harsh and out of tune, while not blowing at all would result in no sound being produced. By using soft, warm air, the player can achieve the desired tone and play the recorder effectively.

    What do we say when we clap an Eighth Note?

    • Tah

    • Ti-Ti

    • Shh

    Correct Answer
    A. Ti-Ti
    Explanation
    When we clap an Eighth Note, we say "Ti-Ti." The term "Ti-Ti" is a commonly used mnemonic to represent the sound or rhythm of an Eighth Note. In music notation, an Eighth Note is represented by a single flag attached to a vertical stem. It is played for half the duration of a Quarter Note, and when clapping or counting, we use "Ti-Ti" to accurately represent the timing and rhythm of this note.

    What do we say for the Dotted Half Note when speaking rhythms? - ProProfs

    What do we say for the Dotted Half Note when speaking rhythms?

    • Tah

    • Tah-ah-ah

    • Ti-Ti

    Correct Answer
    A. Tah-ah-ah
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Tah-ah-ah" because when speaking rhythms, the Dotted Half Note is typically represented by saying "Tah" for the first beat and then extending the sound "ah" for the remaining two beats. This helps to convey the duration and emphasis of the note accurately.

    How should your back look when playing the recorder?

    • Leaning to the side.

    • It doesn't matter what your back looks like.

    • Straight

    Correct Answer
    A. Straight
    Explanation
    When playing the recorder, it is important to maintain a straight back. This posture helps to align the body properly, allowing for better breath control and overall stability while playing the instrument. Leaning to the side can cause strain on the back and affect the quality of sound produced. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the back straight to ensure proper technique and prevent any potential discomfort or injury.

    What letter is this note on the recorder? 

    • A

    • G

    • B

    Correct Answer
    A. G
    Explanation
    The correct answer is G. In music, the recorder is a woodwind instrument that is played by covering and uncovering the holes to produce different notes. Each hole corresponds to a specific letter on the musical scale. In this case, the note being played on the recorder is G.

    There are two reasons your recorder may squeak.  1. Blowing too hard or 2. ____________________

    • Not Covering the Holes

    • Playing with Feeling

    Correct Answer
    A. Not Covering the Holes
    Explanation
    One possible reason for the recorder to squeak is if the holes are not properly covered while playing. When playing the recorder, each hole needs to be completely covered or uncovered to produce the correct pitch. If any of the holes are only partially covered or if the fingers are not placed properly, it can result in air leakage and cause the recorder to squeak. Therefore, not covering the holes correctly can be a reason for the squeaking sound.

    The correct answer is "Tah" because when speaking the rhythm for a Quarter Note, we usually use the syllable "Tah".

    What do we say for the Half Rest when speaking rhythms? - ProProfs

    What do we say for the Half Rest when speaking rhythms?

    • Shh

    • Shh-shh

    • Tah

    Correct Answer
    A. Shh-shh
    Explanation
    When speaking rhythms, the Half Rest is represented by saying "Shh-shh". The "Shh" sound is used to indicate a silent or restful moment in the rhythm, and the repetition of "Shh" emphasizes the duration of the rest. This is a common way to verbally communicate the presence of a Half Rest in music.

    • Tah

    • Tah-ah

    • Ti-Ti

    Correct Answer
    A. Tah-ah
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Tah-ah" because when speaking rhythms, the Half Note is typically represented by saying "Tah-ah." This helps to indicate the duration and emphasis of the note, with "Tah" representing the first beat and "ah" representing the second beat of the Half Note. This vocalization is commonly used in music education to teach and communicate rhythm patterns.

    • A

    • B

    Correct Answer

    The correct answer is B. The question is asking for the letter that corresponds to the note being played on the recorder. Since the answer is B, it means that the note being played is the note B.

    How should we hold the recorder when playing?

    • Straight ahead.

    • At an angle.

    • Way down low.

    Correct Answer
    A. At an angle.
    Explanation
    When playing the recorder, it is best to hold it at an angle. Holding it straight ahead may cause the sound to be muffled or unclear. Holding it way down low may make it difficult to reach the finger holes and play the correct notes. Holding it at an angle allows for better control and clarity of sound.

    • A

    • G

    • B

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    What hand belongs at the TOP of the recorder?

    • Left

    • Right

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Left
    Explanation
    The left hand belongs at the top of the recorder because it is responsible for covering the top three holes on the instrument. This allows the player to control the pitch and produce different notes. The right hand is used to cover the bottom three holes and control the lower range of notes. Placing the left hand at the top ensures proper finger placement and technique for playing the recorder effectively.
