The recorder playing techniques of fingering, breathing management and articulation, tonguing, and posture are the main and vital element of the art of playing the recorder. All of these elements are interconnected among each other. This research intended to investigate the importance and the effectiveness of the recorder playing technique using the numbering system that was thought to the students to produce accurate and quality pitch.

Music Education Cuniculum in Malaysia had also implement the recorder playing technique as a basic requirement in the syllabus that must be taught to the children. This research had been constructed to show the benefits that can be gain by teaching the students the recorder fingering technique by using the numerical system in school.
