How The Recorder Works

The recorder is a member of the woodwind family of instruments- so called because at one time they were all made of wood and were blown to produce their sounds. Today the woodwind sections includes instruments such as the flute, which are metal.

• When the instrument is blown, the sound is created by the air striking the recorder lip as it emerges from the small air channel.
• The remaining column of air vibrates as it passes down the tube. All woodwind instruments have holes down one side of the tube and usually one on the opposite sides for the thumb.
• The instrument produces specific notes if one or more of the holes are blocked, when it is blown. The more holes that are covered, the deeper the note.

This is my recorder. Some of you have the same model.

Rock & Turó

The pupils from El Turó School have recorded a CD which contains some of the best song from the Catalan pop-rock songbook. You can download it here.
