Description
Class Experience
Students will be able to correctly hold the recorder and produce the notes G, A, B with a good tone and tonguing.
No homework, but you are welcome to re-watch the recording of the class in order to practice the skills again.
Each student will need to have their own "Baroque" (not German) fingering recorder. Yamaha or Aulos are reliable quality brands for beginners and many other brands are fine as well. They are available from music stores and online. If your family already owns a recorder here is how to tell if it is Baroque or German fingering: a German-fingering recorder has hole five (counting from the top) which is smaller than hole four, whereas Baroque recorders have hole four which is smaller than hole five.
40 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
