I`ve been playing the recorder for four months now, and am mostly self-taught. I can play anything in the hymnbook, provided it has the right range; and I`m playing a lot of songs I know by ear. I`m having a hard time finding music for recorders that isn`t meant for third-graders, though.
My most recent need has been for finger exercises which I can use to help me learn to switch quickly between notes, especially the accidentals and between the lower and higher octave. My recorder is C-soprano with Baroque fingering.
Any ideas?

Try flute music it really works cause the fingering are some what different yet quite alike too they are great for playinf faster more advanced pieces that cant be found for recorder.

I play both but I think guitar is harder. If you play guitar you have to harden your finger tips which can be painful aswell as learning different positions whereas on recorder you learn your fingering and how to read music and thats it so in my opinion guitar is harder
