I Can Play That Tune -Six Easy Recorder Songs for Beginners- Level 1 And 2

This multi-day course offers the same learning technique as my already successful 'Play That Tune' one-time classes and seeks to introduce beginners to playing the recorder.  Learners on this course do not need any prior knowledge of playing the recorder.  The course will build in difficulty each week and is designed to teach learners to play notes on the recorder and play 6 traditional tunes in a fun, relaxed environment.  This is a fun introduction to playing recorder and aims to get children playing and enjoying music quickly. 
This course does not seek to teach learners to read music or learn theory, check out my other courses for this.

Learners are shown how to play through a combination of watching teacher and a colourful presentation including clear pictures and instruction on how to hold and place fingers to play the notes.

After each class the presentation will be sent to the learner so they can practice daily through the week.

Week one will start by learning how to correctly hold the recorder.  Then learners will learn correct blowing and tonguing techniques.  Finally they will learn their first three notes.  The first tune will use just these three notes.

Each following week will introduce one or two new notes a week and a new tune each week, gradually building in difficulty.  Every week will include a Q&A on any problems learners are having with their playing, a quick review of the previous week, and games to help build technique and confidence in playing.

Tunes will include:
Hot Cross Buns
Rain rain go away
Twinkle twinkle little star
A peanut sat
Happy Birthday
Old Macdonald had a farm


By the end of this course the learner will be able to 8 notes, this will enable them to play with music, creating their own tunes or attempting to play other songs they hear.
