Recorder Time!

The 3rd graders were introduced to their recorders this past week! We reviewed the basics of notation by doing an activity where we created a staff and other musical notation out of yarn, and then we met our recorders! So far, we have just learned the basics of playing the recorder, which are...
     1. Left hand on top
     2. Cover the holes completely
     3. Blow gently
     4. Think "too"

Once we get a little further into playing recorders, students will be able to bring them home to practice once in awhile (I'll bet you can't wait for that, parents!). For now, students, keep practicing those line and space note names (click HERE for a video that will help you)!
