The Wellerman Recorder Tutorial + Variations! | Team Recorder

Everyone has heard The Wellerman sea shanty recently, sung by Nathan Evans and immensely popular across Tiktok. Of course it was time for a recorder tutorial! And I might have gotten excited and written a set of recorder variations too...

The notes written out here:
C C CC Eb G G G G
Ab F FF Ab C G G
C CC C Eb G G G G
G F Eb D C
C' Ab Ab Bb G G G
Ab F FF Ab C' G G
C' Ab AbAb BbBb G G G
G F Eb D C

Here the C' means an octave higher. The rhythm changes slightly with every verse to fit the words - this is an approximation!
