Description
Class Experience
I believe children learn to play an instrument if they enjoy it, and part of that is being able to play a recognisable song. In this beginner 1 series of lessons students will learn the notes required to play well known songs. The emphasis in the beginner classes is on learning the song, look out for the next level (Play That Tune - The theory and the practice) for guidance in reading music and more advanced songs. With Christmas nearly upon us, it's time to get festive and learn some...
By the end of this class learners will understand how to hold their recorder and position their fingers correctly. They will know the fingering to be able to play five notes D G A Fsharp E B C . Learners will have been shown the techniques to be able to play the tune, however it may take more practice after class to perfect these techniques.
I have been learning and playing music since I was a small girl. I play piano, flute, saxophone, guitar and of course the recorder. I have played in bands and have also worked in a recording studio where I frequently played on backing tracks for singers. I have taught in English secondary schools for many years covering a wide range of subjects but specialising in music.
There is no set homework, however to master an instrument takes time and practice. Therefore, it is recommended that a learner spends a little time each day practicing their new skill.
Learners must have a recorder for this class. A recorder can be bought very inexpensively from most toy stores, music stores or online stores. Learners will learn from an on screen presentation. This will be sent to learners after class and can be printed for use in practice.
40 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
