How to play A on recorder

Hi everyone!
   Hope you are finding time to make some music today!
 
   If you have mastered B on the recorder, today we are going to learn how to play A.  You basically still hold the B finger down, but add your second finger to cover the second hole and... bam... you now are playing A!

    Here is a great short video on how to play A.

Remember that the B note is on the middle line (If you read the book "Freddie the Frog and Treble Clef Island" with me, Freddie the Frog crossed the Bridge in the middle of Treble Clef Island)

A is our new note and is just a little lower than B in the space below.  Remember when we count all the spaces from the bottom up, it spells FACE!
