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 HolesExplanation
The second reason why a recorder may squeak is if the player is not covering the holes properly. When playing the recorder, it is important to cover the holes completely with the fingers to create the correct pitch and prevent any air from escaping. If the holes are not covered properly, air can leak out, causing the recorder to produce a squeaking sound instead of the intended note.Rate this question:

Holding it at an angle allows for better control and positioning of the fingers on the recorder's holes, resulting in clearer and more accurate sound production.Rate this question:

A. Shh-shh-shh-shhExplanation
The given answer "Shh-shh-shh-shh" is the representation of the Whole Rest when speaking rhythms. In music notation, a Whole Rest indicates a complete silence or pause for the duration of a whole measure.

What do we say for the Half Rest when speaking rhythms?
-
Shh
-
Shh-shh
-
Tah
Correct Answer
A. Shh-shhExplanation
The Half Rest is represented by a symbol that looks like a horizontal rectangle sitting on top of the third line of the staff. When speaking rhythms, we use "Shh-shh" to represent the Half Rest. This is because the sound "Shh" is often used to indicate silence or quietness, and the repetition of "Shh" emphasizes the duration of the rest, which is equal to two beats in most cases. Therefore, "Shh-shh" is the appropriate way to describe the Half Rest when speaking rhythms.Rate this question:
