In this 4-week class, students will play songs using notes lower than B, A, and G (low E and/or low D) and higher than B, A, G (high C and high D).
Class experience
In this 4-week class, students will play the recorder while learning songs that expand their range beyond the beginner B, A, and G notes. Songs selected each month will feature notes lower than B, A, and G (low E and/or low D) and higher than B, A, G (high C and/or high D). Students will also gain experience playing a wider range of rhythmic notation, including quarter notes [♩], half notes [𝅗𝅥], eighth note pairs [♫], whole notes [𝅝], their corresponding rests [𝄽, 𝄼, 𝄻], and dotted rhythms...
Students will improve their understanding of how to play notes beyond the beginner level and develop the skill or reading the corresponding music notation.
Ms. Sandra has been playing the recoder for decades but became especially interested 25 years ago when she began playing with the Collegium Musicum of her university while attending graduate school. She continues to enjoy playing soprano and alto recorder, and is a member of the American Recorder Society. She has a Bachelor of Music and a Master of Arts in Music Education, and has been an active private teacher for over 30 years.

Each learner should have a Baroque soprano recorder (Baroque fingering system). The fingerings taught in this class will not work for a German recorder. If you aren't sure, you can usually check on the back of the recorder (there is often a tiny B or G embossed). If you cannot tell, please contact the instructor. Many soprano recorders are available very inexpensively. However, there are also some very poor quality recorders available in discount stores. Here is an example that is both inexpensive AND a good quality recorder: https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-YRS-23Y-Soprano-Recorder-Natural/dp/B0014ZG676/ref=sr_1_2?crid=11N04FCX7BMAM&dchild=1&keywords=soprano+recorder+for+kids&qid=1589145736&sprefix=soprano+re%2Caps%2C204&sr=8-2 Music (notation files and video and audio files) will be produced and provided by the teacher.
Parents, please remind your learner to upload requested videos so that the teacher can provide specific, indidivualized feedback. Knowing what you are doing well and getting ideas about how to improve are key to progress.
All materials will be teacher generated.
