Recorder and Ukulele – A Musical Summer Plan with Adrian
For recorder, there’s a website called youcanplayit.com that has excellent videos showcasing how to play a variety of old traditional songs, modern popular songs, and even songs from some movies, TV shows, and video games. The videos show note names and recorder fingerings for every note and function as a fantastic learning and practice tool. The videos show fingerings for both Baroque recorder and German recorder; you’ll want to follow fingerings for the Baroque recorder.
You Can Play It!
For ukulele, the first step is getting your instrument in tune. If you’re not sure how to tune your ukulele, a youtuber named Elise Ecklund has this straight-forward how-to video on the subject. Tuning may require some parent assistance at first but is a process children can master!
If you’re new to the Ukulele, you’ll want to know how to play some basic chords. Elise teaches a few chords in this video.
Elise has tutorials for a lot of songs that you can find in the video playlist or on her YouTube Channel.

For example, see my result example for: “hey jude ukulele tutorial.”
In case you need an instrument…
If you don’t have a recorder at home, I recommend ordering a simple, plastic Yamaha recorder. They’re affordable, durable, and have a decent tone (I play myself on a plastic Yamaha all the time.) You can order one with a variety of color options.

If you don’t have a ukulele and want to get one, there are a lot of good options available. I would recommend starting with a concert or soprano ukulele in the $20-$60 range.
