Let's Learn to Play Recorder!

In this class, we will learn everything we need to be successful on recorder.

We will start with the basics: hand position, proper breathing, treble clef, rhythm reading, and the first three notes (B-A-G). We will also learn songs through echo singing and playing as well as note reading.

In the second lesson, we will practice skills learned in the first lesson, and we will learn and practice a new song.

Lesson three will introduce a new note (E) and we will practice making our own short compositions.

In lesson four we will learn another new note and another song. We will also continue to practice composition.

Lesson five will be dedicated to practicing everything that we have learned to that point.

In the sixth lesson, we will learn more notes and a new song.

In lesson seven, we will learn the final new notes and the last new song.

Lesson eight will be our last chance to practice as a class, then we will play all of the songs that we have learned, and finally share our compositions with each other.

Over the course of eight weeks, we will learn all of the basic soprano recorder notes, several songs, and compose our own short pieces to play for the class. We will learn by playing recorder in every class.
