Today we are sharing a free recorder improvisation pack based on Hot Cross Buns. We hope this will be a ton of fun for anyone using recorders in their classes.

This staple of recorder pedagogy gets a glow up with a groovy minor-key background track and note banks for improvisation. We’ve also included an introduction video for teachers, play-along videos, practice background tracks, and note bank demos.

Play the melody and then it’s time to improvise and practice ear training!
