Beginner Recorder Karate

We will begin this class with introductions, ensuring that everyone has their video and audio on and working. We will proceed into introducing ourselves and our recorders. In the first class we will learn some of the basics, such as how to hold our recorders properly, the ins and outs of fingerings and making our first sound. They will learn the song at first by following along with me as I do the fingerings. Then I will show them how those sounds relate to the musical notes on the page.

Our first class will involve learning the first 3 notes. These three notes will be the notes needed for the first three songs in recorder Karate: Hot Cross Buns, Gently Sleep, and Merrily We Roll Along. 

For this class, the student will need be comfortable knowing how to unmute themselves and have their video on. I’ll be unmuting each student individually to have them play back parts of the song or make sounds so that I can ensure they are understanding one part of the lesson before moving onwards.

After the first class, please check out the classroom, where I will add the link and password to use the online streamed recordings of the songs for practicing at home. This is also where I will put up the song pdf’s. They will only be available for the 6 weeks of the section.
