They
didn't have a teacher!
Do you want to be a fifer?
Get
yourself a good teacher. That's the best way to learn. If there is nobody available
in your area, click on the button above.
Note:
The Tutorial on the Fife is designed for students using a Conventional,
Bb 6-hole Fife as used
by most reenactors and fife and drum corps in the United States. If you intend
to learn on a gift shop Bb Maple Fife, DO NOT order the tutorial. Many of these
fifes are most difficult to sound on, even by the most skilled musician, right
out of the box. The Bb
Plastic Student Fifes
are fine as a learner's instrument and are available from Be A Fifer and elsewhere.
Nor can I
help with the Yamaha plastic fife which requires fingerings more like a recorder.
