Correct Answer
A. Sit up tall with your back straightExplanation
When playing the recorder, it is important to sit up tall with your back straight. This posture allows for proper breath control and helps to maintain good airflow while playing the instrument. It also helps to keep the body relaxed and allows for better finger dexterity. Leaning on the legs with the elbows, leaning forward to see the music, leaning back on the hands, or holding the instrument with one hand would all result in a poor playing position and may hinder the player's ability to produce a clear and accurate sound.Rate this question:
