How to play Happy Birthday on the Recorder
Below you will find the Happy Birthday recorder notes with letters, along with fingerings to help you follow the melody step by step.
Take your time, start slowly, and focus on playing clean and steady notes.

As you play, try to blow gently, especially on the lower notes. This will help you control the sound and avoid sharp or unstable tones.
One of the most challenging parts is the jump from low C to high C. Practice this transition slowly until you feel comfortable.
With a bit of practice, you will be able to play Happy Birthday on recorder confidently and impress your friends and family.
