Why were we forced to learn the recorder in school? It isn’t that easy to play and it sounds awful, right? In this video, Sabrina explores the surprisingly rich history of the recorder and traces the instrument from its baroque origins all the way to the modern day. She challenges herself to play the recorder and even enlists the help of a professional recorder musician.
