Recorder Mute

At the bottom of your Music information letter (that went home with your At Home Learning Packages from school), there were images of Recorder Mutes. There are six that you can cut out. If your space is tight at home and it is difficult to find a space to play because the recorder is distracting to others, please consider using the Recorder Mute for some of the practice time. Please see photo on how this should look on your recorder.

1. Cut out mute on solid line.

2. Insert the slip of paper into the mouthpiece hole up until the dotted line.

3. Tape the mute in place or use an elastic band. Keep in mind that if you use an elastic band, you will be able to reuse the mute.

4. Happy playing. Remember, it will not sound great to you but it will be good enough so that you can keep practicing your notes and fingering.
