Hi Cheryl... You're welcome and thank you for your expressed appreciation. I understand your feeling of limitation by the single key. Check out http://www.recorderhomepage.net/index.html. Is that the kind of site you are looking for? I think it's awesome that you are self-taught! Keep it up!

Thank you for the informative essay on woodwinds. I've been playing the penny whistle (tin whistle, Irish whistle) for a while and I enjoy it very much, but I felt limited by the single key. I'm interested in the recorder because I have seen that it's possible to play flats and sharps, and it is therefor not limited to just one or two keys for a single instrument. I'm an adult (if it makes any difference,) with one semester of college "intro to music" with some theory, and a semester of piano that really got me interested. I'm self-taught, so I'm looking for resources such as downloadable music specifically for recorder. I could play the stuff I've downloaded from Tinwhistler.com, Fullbodyburn.com, Wnaderingwhistler.com and Chiffandfipple.com, but I'd like more keys and music that people who know music know is good for recorder. Do you post anything like this, or can you recommend a "recorder site"?
