I don't know what kind of recorder you were using, but all the ones I've used were not like that. In fact, I've never heard of a recorder that was played that way. The different fingerings will create the different pitches, not the amount of air you put into the instrument.

My brother plays recorder, and actually how you blow into the recorder can SLIGHTLY affect how flat or sharp a note is.
