About Hot Cross Buns

Traditional English street song. It is a traditional tune, free to play, copy and teach. The words start: “Hot cross buns, hot cross buns, one a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns!”

Recorder music is written an octave lower than it sounds, and this tune sits in the first notes you learn.

Start at the Slow speed. When you can play it through without stopping, try Practice, then Full speed.
