In this ongoing, learner-directed course, four-year-old learners will learn how to play notes, patterns, notes that switch, and songs on the recorder.
Class experience
In this ongoing class, preschool students will learn recorder basics. Each week we will practice posture, holding the instrument properly, breath control, fingering technique, embouchure (how to hold your mouth), etiquette (how we act in the orchestra), and basic note reading while playing short exercises and songs. The class is structured for four-year-old learners. It's an entry-level, learner-directed class. This means that the songs, content, and what we do each week will be...
Students will learn recorder basics. Each week we will practice sitting tall, holding the instrument properly, breathing deeply, blowing air lightly into the instrument, using our fingers to cover the holes in the instrument, using our mouth to seal the air flow, behaving like an instrumentalist, and basic note reading including rhythm. We can learn all of these things by following directions while playing short exercises and songs, and by having fun!
I have successfully taught very young learners to play recorder previously in a large-class format. The small-class format is much more conducive to learning and making progress when it comes to very young learners. The only concern is finger size compared to the holes in the bore of the recorder. Please check to make sure that your student's fingers are able to cover the holes.
Learners must possess a recorder. It can be either Baroque or German in style. The Yamaha company has some good information which will be shared in the Outschool classroom, but the type will not make a difference to early beginners. Parents of learners can access Google Slides, printouts, and teacher-created videos for practice weekly in the Outschool classroom.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
There is no sensitive or mature content in this class.

Practice videos created by the teacher will be embedded in the Google Slides. Slides may be accessed for practice, for printing, and for download. The link to the slides will be posted in the Outschool classroom. The class video will not be made available in the classroom for reasons of privacy for our little learners.
