School recorder lessons, Help??

Question

Yes its school recorder lessons (where are the ear plugs??)
Please can anyone remember what notes various fingers make as we seem to have conflicting ideas on the subject.
I can remember where all the fingers go and how to produce the notes but cannot remember what fingers go with what notes. Is d when six holes on the front and the one on the back covered? What about the rest?
And for reading the music, i thought it went e,g,b,d,f, but we conflict on this too.
Help anyone??

Answer 1

Left hand - Thumb on back.Plus:
First finger at top = B
first top two holes - A
first top three holes =G

Thumb on back plus second hole only = C
second hole without thumb =D

thumb on back, first three stops with fingers covered with left hand (same as for G) PLUS first two stops with right hand =E
all three = D
first finger off with right hand (last two holes covered, = F

This is for a descant - which is what they teach first in schools these fingerings also apply for a tenor and a sopranino. The treble recorder has different fingerings, just to confuse things! You have flats and sharps too - I have forgotten those though, sorry!

Not sure if you have flats and sharps on recorders though..
