I play recorder, mostly self-taught, and I sing. I now have a bombarde but can't be said to be able to play it! Until last weekend I couldn't get more than three notes at a time out of it, but Jude from Isambarde shaved my reed for me and I can now get a tune, but it doesn't sound brilliant yet! (If ever) Never really occurs to me to practise singing, though I suppose one should. I only practise if I'm learning a new song and sing it over and over until I remember it

Love Lynne
