Students grades 3-6 have received their new recorders (or brought back their ones from last year) and have started our new unit.
Students have been briefed on:
1) how to hold the recorder (Left hand on top three holes, right hand for the bottom four)
2) how to tongue a note (blowing gently with a "doo" sound)
3) how to read and play notes B and A on the musical staff for our first songs
More advanced students had a quick review and then tried their hand at the opening line of an electronic song called "Faded" by Alan Walker.
Students will be earning "belts" as they progress through a number of levelled songs appropriate for their years of experience on the recorder.
Your child may wish to bring home their recorder to work on creating a smooth tone or reading notes. Click on the link below:
