In this beginner class, we will learn the fundamentals of music by learning to play the recorder. Weekly topics will be covered as follows:

Week 1 - Introduction to the recorder. We will learn how to produce a good sound (embouchure), and how to play two different notes, B and A. Treble clef will be introduced along with music notation.
Week 2 - New note G will be introduced. Rhythm and beat will be incorporated.
Week 3 - We will learn simple songs using the notes B, A, and G. Learners will practice identifying notes through games and drills.
Week 4 - Review simple songs and add more complex notation - eighth notes will be introduced in this class.

Learners will do best in this class if they do not have prior musical experience. Through games, drills, and engaging repertoire, we will discover together the wonderful world of music-making via the breathtaking sounds of the beginner recorder.
