Beginning recorder players, parents, and teachers
Worth noticing
The camera view is used to place fingering dots directly on the learner’s fingers; the site says camera and microphone data stay on-device.

Field notes

The homepage lays out a progression from B, A, and G to higher and lower notes, with each lesson ending in a short tune. Song practice can proceed note by note or in time, and the page says playback slows down when a note is tricky. It recommends a soprano or descant recorder with baroque fingering, and advises standing a phone or tablet upright so the camera can see the player’s hands.
