Hi musicians!

Have you ever wanted to know how you can get your fingers to move faster, so you can play fast and difficult passages like they're a breeze?
Here I give a range of exercises designed to get your fingers relaxed, strengthened, confident with difficult note changes and running fluently! This tutorial is especially suited to the recorder, but would fit any wind instrument. And some of the exercises would fit any instrument!

[also, apologies for crappy lighting in places, in the Netherlands the sun sets at about 2pm and I continue to be surprised by this]

Thanks to Annabel Knight for teaching me a couple of these when I was studying with her!
