Welcome aspiring recorder players! Parents - I am so excited that you have a child interested in learning more about music.  Music is fantastic for the mind, body and soul, and it is a great gift to give to your children! 

***Update: Please note***
I now currently have two recorder classes available.  Both are also available as FLEX courses.  Scroll down to read a description of each to determine which one is the best fit for your learner.

This course is for students who are very familiar with B, A, G, and C.  They can easily play songs such as Hot Cross Buns, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Shave and a Haircut, and Baby Shark. They are ready to learn new notes! These students can easily hold a recorder and cover holes with their right AND left hand fingers. This is a great course for students who have completed my Let's Play Recorder Level 1 course successfully and are ready for more, or students who have already begun learning the recorder in school or on their own. 

This course begins with reviewing B, A, G, and C by learning songs not covered in Level 1.  These songs will also give students experience in reading new rhythmic patterns. After spending time reviewing, we will begin to add notes in the right hand. 

I strive to create a fun and beneficial learning environment. During classes, students will not only be learning to play the recorder, but they will also be acquiring skills that will enable them to read and play music independently.  To do this, they will be using, not just their recorders, but also their voices and bodies to help them understand pitch and rhythm.  Singing notes and using movement to reinforce concepts greatly influences success! 

During this course we will add the notes low C, high/low D, and high/low E, while we continue to utilize B, A, G, and C.  Each class will be comprised of one or two songs that will allow students to become familiar with these new notes, and also continue to increase their confidence in reading rhythms and notes on the staff. 

**If you need an alternate time for this course, please message me!**
