During these lessons, we focus on building up the learner(s) specific goals, skills, and interests. During classes, topics we may work on include, but are not limited to reading chord charts and playing chords; accompanying songs; strumming techniques; reading tablature, traditional notation, and rhythmic figures; and playing melodies. Students will also be supported in developing appropriate playing position and independence. These classes are recommended for beginner players. Most students in this age range will be best suited to playing soprano recorder. However, older students or those with larger hands may be ready to play tenor recorder. In the event that the minimum enrollment for this class is not met, the teacher still plans to teach the class in the hopes of other learners joining. Parents, if you prefer that your learner ONLY work in a group and do not want them to be a single learner in class, please message the instructor to let her know. This class will focus on building the learner(s) goals, skills, and interests.

Supply List
RECORDER: Student need to have a good quality, Baroque fingering system Soprano recorder. Please take note: soprano recorders are available with both "German" and "Baroque" fingering. This class is designed for Baroque fingering instruments. Recorders traditionally have three pieces. They are designed to come apart for several reasons, including tuning, cleaning, and most importantly, adapting to the student's finger length. It is BEST for the student to have a 3-piece recorder. One-piece recorders are NOT recommended under any circumstances. The recommended recorders below all feature Baroque fingering and 3-piece construction. In most instances, a good quality plastic or resin recorder will cost less than a poor quality wood recorder. Many soprano recorders are available very inexpensively. However, there are also some very poor quality recorders available in discount stores. I recommend the following models: Yamaha YRS-302B Soprano Recorder, Baroque fingering, Key of C: https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-YRS-302B-Soprano-Recorder-Baroque/dp/B0002MS7NS Aulos Soprano Recorder (A303ADB) Baroque fingering https://www.amazon.com/Aulos-Classroom-Recorder-Soprano-English/dp/B001LG7TUG Music notation sheets will be provided by the teacher.
