How do you divide your practice time between your recorders?

[Karen Hytten]

Ever since buying my new bass recorder I have been playing it almost exclusively and completely neglecting my other recorders. I love everything about it and have really been enjoying playing lots of different music on it including movements some of Bach’s unaccompanied cello and violin suites. I recently picked up my Soprano and Alto and found to my horror that my fingers had forgotten where to go. Not the fingering (thank goodness) but just where to land on the instrument. So I was wondering – if you play multiple sizes of recorder, how do you divide your time between your different instruments to ensure that you don’t run into this problem?
