I bought a Yamaha Fife! Its like a cross between a recorder and a flute, and it looks like this:
I initially planned on buying a normal recorder when I hopped into the Yamaha in tampines mall. It was then that I realised there were actually so many types of recorders, and the Fife suddenly caught my eye. Looks really cool right! So, i went up to the shop assistant and asked him how I was supposed to play it and how was the fingering like. Apparently you hold it like a flute, but the fingerings are exactly the same as the normal german recorders. Well of course I bought it, it only cost me 9 bucks anyway.
I couldn't wait to return home so I could have a go on it. Guess what, I'm having problems playing it already. You can't just blow into the mouthpiece like a recorder, because you have to blow across the hole at some angle and...I can't find it. I suppose it'll take me some time to figure out how to play it properly, if you have any tips, don't hesitate to come up to me.
Meanwhile, I'll continue trying before I start my work awhile later. Lets see if its ever possible to play the flute part on Fantasy of a Japanese Folk Song [refer to previous post], even if it'll take me a some time. -__- I'm so clueless right now.
okay i managed to play the C major scale! So if you'll excuse me, I'll continue playing. It sounds very horrible o.O One more thing, I'm starting to get a headache from it. help me.
Edit
got the first tiny phrase to FJFS yay! the sounds are a wee bit better. still far from good =X
I also feel accomplished because i actually understood the product law and chainrule from today's lesson and did alot of questions! :D
Edit
I'll be laughing at this post ten years later -__-
