How to Play Happy Birthday on the Recorder
If you'd love to learn how to play happy birthday on the recorder, watch this video. I've recorded this especially for www.great-happy-bithday-ideas.com, so you won't find it any where else.
The tutorial shows you step by step, which notes you need to know and how to play them. I then show you how to play the complete song on the recorder!
I do assume that you can basically play the recorder and know how to 'tounge' the notes. But even if you don't this should still help you learn.
You can view the lesson in full screen by clicking on the full screen icon in the video task bar, and you can pause it any time just by clicking on the video.
Enjoy!
This video teaches you how to play happy birthday on the recorder in the key of G. Here are the notes for those who've asked for them, and I've also added them to the video. I hope this helps!

Ideally I would have done the video much slower, or repeated the last section a few times, but it's got that many views now that I can't edit it - sorry!
Some of you also stated that the C is wrong, well it sounds Ok to me and that's the way we learnt it at school.
