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.  

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.

The teacher will provide weekly music printouts of custom exercises and traditional songs in a very easy format.  Students can access Google Slides containing practice videos created by the teacher weekly in the Outschool classroom.  Students may also watch the class video and practice along with it.
