Now that we can play B-A-G on the recorder, it's time to add some new notes! We will begin to use the right hand to add the notes C-D-E. With these notes, we can now play the songs "Old MacDonald had a Farm," "It's Raining, It's Pouring," and "Skin and Bones." We can work on learning the "Minecraft" theme song. By the end of this course, students will be able to play the first 6 notes on the recorder. During this course we will also learn how to read music notes and rhythms. Learning to read music is a skill that students will take with them throughout their lives. We will work at the students pace during this 6 class course. Students will need their own recorder. Prerequisite: Let's Play the Recorder- Level 1 or prior knowledge of the notes B-A-G on the recorder. If you have any questions about if your child will meet the prerequisite, please contact the instructor.
