Beginner Recorder

The first notes I teach on recorder are G, A and B. We spend one week learning each note. The first day we spend playing a specific note. The second day we combine two notes together. We spend a lot of time talking about correct technique.

Activities
1. Echo rhythms
2. Playing basic quarter note/rest, eighths and half note rhythms
3. Play alongs from Rockin' Recorder (listen and play).
4. Drum set echo patterns-each drum represents a different note of recorder. High tom-B, middle tom-A, floor tom-G.
5. Class BAG composition (Google Presentation).
6. Individual BAG compositions.
7. Play alongs from Do It Recorder.
