Beginner Recorder Player Tries 1min, 10min, 1hour Practice Challenge!

I’ve seen plenty of fabulous musicians doing the 1 minute, 10 minute, 1 hour Practice Challenge on YouTube… and I thought I’d give it a go too… (sadly I’m not a fabulous musician. Not even close. But never mind, eh?)

I’m teaching myself to play the recorder. I’ve been playing for around 10 months, with no prior musical knowledge. I might not achieve much in an hour, but I like to show the reality of learning an instrument, and that it isn’t all about the end performance… (thankfully, in my case.)

I’m playing ‘Rigaudon’ by Louis Claude Daquin. I’ve put the sheet music on the screen, but you can find it (for free!) on imslp.org by clicking below: (this is part of ‘Livre de Pièces de Clavecin’. Scroll down to ‘2e Rigaudon’ in the PDF to find where I started playing from. It is in G Major.)

If the link stops working, you can also find it by searching for ‘Rigaudon Daquin’ on IMSLP. 🙂
