Let's Play Recorder! Level One Flex Option

In this class, students will have the opportunity to learn the first three notes on the recorder: B-A-G! You will be amazed at all the songs you can play using only these notes! We will focus on good technique and tone. Students will learn to care for their instruments. 
While students are having fun learning an instrument, they will also be learning music theory and notation. Students will read music and develop good rhythm. Learning to read music is a skill students will be able to enjoy throughout their entire life!
This class is set up as a flex class with four lessons. Students should complete one lesson each week. The lesson will be presented using a Google Slides presentation that includes videos. Some of these videos use the YouTube platform. Each class, the students will use have the opportunity to play along with songs they may already know, including "The Nutcracker March," "Hot Cross Buns," and "Mary Had a Little Lamb." Some play along tracks use the YouTube platform.
After each class, students will practice what they have learned. Students will interact with the teacher by creating a video playing the song we have learned using Outschool or the Flipgrid platform. The teacher and other students will be able to see the video. The teacher will comment on the students playing and help them improve their playing. The other students will also be able to comment on each students songs. Students will also be able to test what they have been learning using interactive quizzes about music theory and the recorder. #creative
Students will receive a printable workbook to use throughout this course after they enroll. 
No prior knowledge is required. Students will need their own soprano recorder with Baroque style fingering.
