Recorder Karate Camp: Learn How to Read Music and Play an Instrument
What's included
5 live meetings
2 hrs 30 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
This introductory Recorder Camp will be fun and engaging! Learners interested in learning to play an instrument, reading music on the Treble Clef Staff, preparing to play another instrument in Beginning Band, or just learning something new will enjoy this Music Class. This Camp is five consecutive days and by the final class they will be able to test for their White Belt! It is my goal that learners will leave this class excited to learn more and possibly consider joining my ongoing class, "Recorder Karate Club" where they will work on earning "Karate" belts all the way to their Black Belt! If a learner needs to miss a lesson during this camp, they will be able to continue by watching the video of the lesson they missed and practicing just as if they were in the class live. CAMP SCHEDULE Class 1: Meet and Greet | Introduction to the Recorder | Care of the Recorder Class 2: Treble Clef Staff | Posture | Breath Support | How to Hold Recorder | First Note 'B' Class 3: Whole Note & Rest, Half Note, Quarter Note | Notes 'A' and 'G' Class 4: Steps to Learn A Song | White Belt Song: "Hot Cross Buns" Class 5: What Makes A Good Performance | White Belt Test Day! | Sight-Reading Any Recorder will do for this class, but I've linked several I would recommend in the Materials section below. By the conclusion of this class, learners will be able to read music notation on the Treble Clef Staff, play the music that they read on the Recorder, and will be working their way toward learning to play a wind instrument independently! This is a great class for students interested in pursuing a traditional Band Instrument! If Learners are interested in continuing to learn the Recorder they can enroll in my "Recorder Karate Club" listed below. https://outschool.com/classes/recorder-karate-club-vfBYOpxy?usid=wIYXlKPR&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link **************************************************************************************************** Tips For A Successful Class 1. It is important to see learners' faces and hands during the class. Learners should be seated in a chair for class and have their camera able to capture them from the head to the top of the seat. I will be able to offer learners feedback on the use of their hands/fingers this way during the lesson. 2. Please ensure to have all Materials ready prior to starting class. Learners will need a Baroque Soprano Recorder, White Board or Blank Paper, Dry Erase Marker and/or Pencil, and Handouts (Provided in the Outschool Classroom the day prior to class beginning). 3. At times, learners will need to write. Please make sure your space is equipped for this to be possible with a table, desk, or something hard to write on. 4. Ensure learners are in a quiet space to allow them to hear the teacher and stay engaged. **************************************************************************************************** ADDITIONAL CLASSES OFFERED I offer a referral discount for my classes. For every friend you invite to enroll in one of my classes, you get $5 off one of your classes and so does the friend!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Maryland Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Hello Outschool Families! I’m a certified educator in the USA. I've been teaching on Outschool for several years now and have loved establishing relationships with learners and their families. I've been teaching the Piano for 17 years and teaching a variety of other Performing Arts subjects since graduating with my degree in Music Education in 2009.
Music has been a passion of mine since I was a child. I grew up in a musical family, sang in church and school, began piano lessons in first grade, was in several musicals, was in the band where I played the flute and piccolo, and lead music at my church on the worship team. I am passionate about students and education! I've included my credentials and experience below.

My goal is that every learner and family leaves my class feeling their time was well spent!
