RECORDER:
Student need to have a good quality, Baroque fingering system Soprano recorder. Please take note: soprano recorders are available with both "German" and "Baroque" fingering. This class is designed for Baroque fingering instruments. 

Recorders traditionally have three pieces. They are designed to come apart for several reasons, including tuning, cleaning, and most importantly, adapting to the student's finger length. It is BEST for the student to have a 3-piece recorder. One-piece recorders are NOT recommended under any circumstances. The recommended recorders below all feature Baroque fingering and 3-piece construction. 

In most instances, a good quality plastic or resin recorder will cost less than a poor quality wood recorder. Many soprano recorders are available very inexpensively. However, there are also some very poor quality recorders available in discount stores. I recommend the following models:

MUSIC THEORY:
Practical Theory: Complete by Sandy Feldstein. The book can be purchased from the publisher at this link https://www.alfred.com/practical-theory-complete/p/00-1998/ but may be found at a lower price on other online shopping platforms.

While the required book is subtitled "A Self-Instruction Music Theory Course," the activities in the book address abstract and sophisticated topics that are best understood through the explanation and occasional musical examples provided by the instructor.

All class materials and resources will be provided through the Outschool classroom. This includes the embedding of resource videos that will be hosted on YouTube. Parents should always supervise students when they are using the internet in any situation.
